Trudeau vows 'no corners cut' in accepting masks, other supplies from ChinaPrime Minister Justin Trudeau says Health Canada will ensure that all masks and medical equipment arriving from China will be properly evaluated, after reports that the Dutch government recalled over 600,000 faulty masks imported from the country. Quit the BS'ing - this is some of the supplies that we sent them. Fake news MSM. I wouldn't trust China & use these medical supplies. They are probably faulty or contaminated with COVID-19.

China sends medical aid to Pakistan to combat virus outbreakChina sent a plane loaded with medical personnel and supplies to help Pakistan fight the spread of the coronavirus in one of the world's most populous nations, the Pakistani Foreign Ministry said Saturday. I wonder where they got that from? Excellent, China a atheist government that represses its Uyghurs Muslims religious beliefs, now helps out a staunchly Islamic country. Maybe this wakes up the Pakistan government that this islamic god allah is not such a god after all. Do not trust the stats from China about the number with the virus in China. The repressive Chinese regime creates stats for political purposes. China is trying to pretend it has stopped the virus spread and is trying to reverse the political image damage to its image.
