Hungary bought coronavirus tests that China later banned from exporting because their quality is too bad
Change language:
Two Chinese companies delivered coronavirus tests to Hungary, but it came to light that their product is unable to detect the infection.
According to Direkt36, there are more than 3 million people in the world who have been infected with the COVID-19 virus, and 200 thousand of them died because of the epidemic. Moreover, the economic effects of the coronavirus are hard even to appraise at the moment. In the fight against the spread of the virus, it is vital to screen as many people as possible, and for that, many tests have been made, but with varying accuracy.

The Hungarian state signed a contract with Chinese Hybribio Biotech about buying coronavirus tests in March. However, since China tightened the export rules of such products, the company could not deliver its tests abroad.
In the last few weeks, many countries complained that they received very low-quality goods from Chinese companies, and that is why
local authorities modified the export rules of the protection kits.
The new instructions say that only those companies can deliver such products abroad that are on the list of the National Medical Product Administration (NMPA). Later, they changed even those regulations, saying that those companies that are not on NMPA’s list but have the necessary documents and foreign permissions can export protective kits. The names of those were put on another list.
Don’t buy Chinese anything.
After what we know about Covid-19 anyone who buys food. or medical supplies or medical equipment from China is an idiot.
So much hatred against China… I wonder how other countries would have acted in such a situation of emergency like the one China had to face last winter. Especially since it was the first country which had to fight a completely new and highly aggressive fast spreading virus. Most people seem to find it more convenient to attack the others than to think objectively. It is easy and it feeds their own prejudices. China and other Asian countries fared very well in containing the contagion and implementing successful measures. In comparison many “western” countries, U.S.A. especially, failed completely, in spite of their big ego and false complex of superiority.
