In a classic incident Pakistan got conned at the hands of their ally China as they were sent N-95 masks made out of underwear. China promised to send top-notch medical gear to Pakistan in order to combat Covid-19. However, when the aid arrived, Pakistan found out that they were basically duped with stuff that ain’t even close to poor, but downright degrading.
The Nepal government has scrapped a major deal for coronavirus testing kits and protective gears signed with a private Chinese company after finding them be of sub-standard quality, according to a senior official, the media reported. In another incident, Spain, last week, had sent back to China millions of purchased kits.

Late last month, China had asked Pakistan to open the border between the two countries for one day on Friday so that medical supplies to fight Coronavirus pandemic could be sent. The Chinese embassy in a letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the governor of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China would like to donate a batch of medical materials to Gilgit-Baltistan, the Dawn reported.
According to the letter, the governor had donated 200,000 ordinary face masks, 2,000 N-95 face masks, five ventilators, 2,000 testing kits and 2,000 medical protective clothes mainly used by doctors and paramedics to fight with the virus, which originated in China late last year.
Reporting the news, a local Pakistani news channel said, “China ne chuna laga diya” (China conned us) and further notified that the Sindh provincial government sent the masks to hospitals without checking.
Lahore-based News Break TV reported,

“In the name of to-quality N95 masks, China has sent in masks made out of underwear. It was also a lacuna on the part of the provincial health authorities who received the medical aid. Without proper checking, the masks were sent to Qatar hospital in Karachi. Over there, the doctors and para-medical staff called it buffooning by China.”
