Dịch Covid-19: WHO cảnh báo thiếu khẩu trang trên toàn cầu

tq sản xuất 1/2 sản lượng thế giới, và tích trữ luôn rồi còn đâu...

...Peter Navarro, an adviser to President Trump on manufacturing (sản xuất) and trade (thương mại), contended (dám chắc rằng, cho rằng) on Fox Business last month that China had essentially taken over (tiếp quản) factories (nhà máy) that make masks (khẩu trang) on behalf of American companies. Beijing, he said, had opted to “nationalize (quốc hữu hóa) effectively 3M, our company.”

In a statement, Minnesota-based 3M said most of the masks it made at its factory in Shanghai had been sold within China even before the outbreak. It declined to comment on when exports from China might resume.

Much as it dominates manufacturing of cars, steel, electronics and other necessities, China is essential to the world’s supply of protective medical gear. Most of what it makes are the disposable (làm ra để vứt đi sau khi dùng; dùng một lần) surgical masks (khẩu trang y tế) worn by health professionals. It makes a smaller number of N95 respirator masks, which provide more filtration (sự lọc, cách lọc) for doctors and nurses.

According to official data, China imported 56 million respirators and masks in the first week after the January lockdown of the city of Wuhan, where the coronavirus emerged.
