In March 2020, the South African CHUNG FUNG (PTY), LTD company purchased more than 8.71 million three-layer protective masks from Guangzhou Xinzhou Health Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. When the supplies arrived in South Africa and were handed over to the South African health department, Five million of them were returned due to serious quality problems.

January 2020, Hubei, China The pneumonia epidemic caused by the new coronavirus broke out in Wuhan and spread to all provinces across the country. Subsequently, outbreaks also began to occur in some countries and regions around the world. The outbreak of the epidemic has affected the hearts of Chinese people all over the world, including the 300,000 overseas Chinese in South Africa, Chinese-funded enterprises and international students. Everyone is extremely worried about the epidemic in their motherland and hometown.

In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, Hubei Province announced a lockdown on January 23, and other provinces have also implemented various control measures. The domestic epidemic situation is severe. When we learned that When there was a shortage of protective materials in the country, overseas Chinese in South Africa used various resources to purchase emergency supplies such as protective clothing, medical masks, and disinfectants. They transported batches of medical anti-epidemic materials through express delivery, logistics, and even chartered flights. Shipping to the motherland has effectively made up for the shortage of medical supplies in China’s fight against the epidemic.

On March 5, the first overseas imported case of new coronavirus pneumonia also appeared in South Africa. As the number of people tested increased, the number of imported cases in the country continued to increase, and the number of infections increased. In the local community, as of May 22, a total of 19,137 cases of COVID-19 infection have been confirmed in the country, and a total of 369 deaths have been reported. The epidemic has shown explosive growth. In the last two months, China has taken action in all aspects from the central and local governments, from enterprises to civil organizations to provide assistance to South Africa within its capacity. A large number of donations of anti-epidemic materials have played a vital role in South Africa’s fight against the epidemic. China has also Selflessly share anti-epidemic experience, help improve anti-epidemic capabilities, and fully support South Africa’s fight against the epidemic. Local Chinese-funded enterprises and overseas Chinese have generously donated money and materials, traveling thousands of miles to help. They have purchased batches of masks, disinfectants, protective clothing, forehead thermometers, ventilators, etc. from China and donated them to the local area. There are also some responsible South African Chinese companies that have used their own social resources to help the South African government departments purchase a large amount of anti-epidemic materials from China, effectively ensuring the serious shortage of anti-epidemic materials during the country’s anti-epidemic process.

As we all know, after China’s domestic epidemic was effectively controlled, it began to export anti-epidemic materials to other countries and regions to support the world’s anti-epidemic efforts. However, in the following period, news continued to break out around the world that the anti-epidemic materials provided by a very few enterprise manufacturers had quality problems, which also seriously affected the overall image of Made in China.

China has always accounted for more than half of the world’s mask production. In the early days of the domestic epidemic, one country and one region successively banned the export of medical supplies. In the face of difficulties, Chinese companies worked overtime. The production of anti-epidemic materials has effectively made up for the shortage after a period of time. This is enough to show that the quality of the vast majority of masks and other materials produced in China can be completely trusted. However, the irresponsible behavior of a very few Chinese mask manufacturers has given some foreign media the opportunity to publicize and hype.

Life is above all else. The quality and safety of medical supplies is directly related to people’s lives and health. During the special period of global epidemic prevention and control, the quality of epidemic prevention supplies is particularly important. However, behind the frequent quality problems of epidemic prevention materials is that some domestic small and medium-sized mask manufacturers and even some large enterprises have not only lowered their quality control, cut corners and shoddy goods in order to rush for work, but some companies have also violated their conscience and Low-quality products produced by some small factories are mixed with exported epidemic prevention materials. After these fake and shoddy products were purchased abroad, some local Chinese businessmen suffered heavy losses. What is even more unacceptable is that some foreign anti-China forces and media used the incident of inferior epidemic prevention materials exported by unscrupulous manufacturers to incite local people. By creating hatred and anti-Chinese sentiments against the Chinese, these inferior products not only damage the reputation of overseas Chinese businessmen, but also bring shame to China-made anti-epidemic materials.

The reporter learned during the investigation of the case that in March 2020, the South African CHUNG FUNG (PTY) LTD company entered into a dispute with Guangzhou North America Jiafang, Guangdong Province over the purchase of medical masks. Biotechnology Co., Ltd. contacted and entrusted Mr. Chen Guozhu (head of Guangzhou North America Jiafang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) to order protective masks produced by Guangzhou Xinzhou Health Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. South Africa’s CHUNG FUNG (PTY), LTD company’s quality requirements for masks are: three-layer protective standard masks, with the middle layer made of 99 melt-blown cloth. Xinzhou Pharmaceutical Company provided mask samples (with Xinzhou logo, three-layer protective mask, and the middle layer material is 99 melt-blown cloth) to the South African CHUNG FUNG (PTY), LTD company. After confirmation by all parties, it was agreed that the sample should be delivered goods.

Since March 2020, the South African CHUNG FUNG (PTY), LTD company has divided into multiple batchesA total of more than 8.71 million masks produced by Guangzhou Xinzhou Health Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. were purchased from Mr. Chen Guozhu (Guangzhou North America Jiafang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). However, starting from the batch of goods on April 9, 2020, CHUNG FUNG Company During the inspection, it was discovered that the color of the fabric material on the surface of the mask was inconsistent with the sample. On April 24, 2020, during another inspection, it was discovered that the goods shipped had serious problems: 1. The product did not meet medical standards and the material used was counterfeit meltblown cloth. 2. The mask failed to pass the test and the pH value seriously exceeded the standard. 3. Products produced by other manufacturers were mixed with counterfeit trademarks of Guangzhou Xinzhou Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. 4. The number of counterfeit and shoddy masks reached 5 million, involving a value of up to 6.9 million yuan.

After that, South Africa CHUNG FUNG (PTY), LTD reported the situation to Guangdong Xinzhou Pharmaceutical Company and Guangzhou North America Jiafang Biotechnology Company, stating that There are about 5 million masks purchased by the South African CHUNG FUNG (PTY), LTD company, and there are serious quality problems mentioned above. Both domestic sales companies and manufacturers admitted that there were indeed problems with the 5 million masks.

After the problem occurred, the South African CHUNG FUNG (PTY), LTD company communicated with domestic suppliers and hoped to supply domestic products Fanghe manufacturers can actively solve the problem of these 5 million inferior masks, avoid huge economic losses and reverse the negative impact of this batch of masks in South Africa. However, domestic manufacturers stated that they would only compensate the Chinese merchant for three boxes of masks in an attempt to settle this serious breach of contract.

South African CHUNG FUNG (PTY), LTD did not receive a positive response from domestic suppliers. They decided to take the matter to legal proceedings. They entrusted domestic A company took the masks from the supplier to the China National Textile and Apparel Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (Zhejiang) for inspection. On May 19, the test report showed that the masks produced by Guangzhou Xinzhou Health Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. were seriously unqualified. The mask straps and the connection between the mask straps and the mask body were broken, with unqualified strength, unqualified filtration efficiency, and unqualified protective effect. Etc., the measured values ​​of these three important indicators are far lower than the national standards.

The above incidents show that amid the acute shortage of masks in Africa and eagerness to receive goods, some domestic Enterprises failed to maintain their moral bottom line, produced shoddy products, and made “disaster fortunes.” This caused undue noise in the main theme of China and the world working together to fight the epidemic, and also seriously damaged the overall international reputation of “Made in China” in this special period. image.

It is true that in normal times, as a major exporting country, China is inevitable to have quality problems in the massive amounts of materials it exports to various parts of the world every day. However, in the current trend of exporting anti-epidemic materials, the situation in the receiving countries is severe. The quality of imported medical materials is related to lives. Any business behavior must be accompanied by self-disciplined morality and a “tightening spell” of awe, and we must always be vigilant in the global fight against the epidemic. Internationally put a stain on “Made in China”.

As we all know, stains in “special periods” are more damaging and deeper to the credibility of “Made in China” than stains in “ordinary periods”. To this end, we also expect Chinese governments at all levels to strengthen supervision of the export quality of similar anti-epidemic materials and curb the recurrence of similar incidents.

We hope that at this critical moment when the world is fighting against the epidemic, relevant Chinese regulatory authorities will adopt stricter and more demanding export supervision measures than usual. There are quality issues with the materials, so we must resolutely stop them. If the investigation finds that the manufacturer did it intentionally in order to profit from the epidemic, we must resolutely and seriously deal with it. Only in this special period can we reflect the Chinese government’s emphasis on all life and maintain the reputation of Made in China.

After the outbreak of the epidemic, overseas Chinese in Africa showed great love, courage and wisdom in the first half of the fight against the epidemic with their country of origin. Currently, they are doing their best to help the country win the second half of the fight against the epidemic. Every day, we hear news about African Chinese communities, Chinese businessmen, and Chinese-funded enterprises donating anti-epidemic materials to local medical institutions.

We hope that they will take the above-mentioned negative events as a warning, carefully screen the “real and fake Li Kui” of domestic production enterprises through multiple channels, avoid “good intentions doing bad things”, and control the donation of masks and other medical supplies. The quality of materials is critical, and we should not give people a new excuse to “anti-China” in an originally sensitive living environment.

At the same time, we still want to believe that most African media and governments have sharp eyes and will not use the topic to make generalizations. After all, the vast majority of the hundreds of millions of masks shipped to all parts of the world every day have played a role in fighting the epidemic and are making their own contribution to China’s construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

To generalize from one part to another. After all, the vast majority of the hundreds of millions of masks shipped to all parts of the world every day have played a role in fighting the epidemic and are making their own contribution to China’s construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. </p
