Politicians in the United States have expressed their anger at the way Beijing has dealt with the emerging Corona virus crisis, but they face a harsh reality that shows that their country badly needs China’s supplies.
Before the crisis, China produced nearly half the number of masks that were imported to the United States, and in normal times it cost less than one dollar, but it disappeared from the shelves of the places of sale amid growing calls for ordinary Americans to wear it when they leave.
And while China appears to have managed to contain the spread of the severe respiratory syndrome (SARS) virus, which has infected more than a million people worldwide since it first appeared late last year in Wuhan, it has become the first source of protection equipment needed to tackle the emerging corona in the world.
"China is a great source for supplying these products at a time of great need, both in the United States and internationally," says Chad Bowen of the Peterson Institute for International Economics. "Therefore, without opening up to China and trying to buy from it now, there will be no hope."
The health crisis provides an opportunity to market and sell Chinese manufacturers to so-called "N95" masks, which are designed to block 95% of very small particles.
China is practicing bullying because it produces 48% of the personal protection equipment imported by the United States, and 50% of that imported by the European Union, according to Pawn calculations.
