China's richest man Jack Ma donates one million face masks and 500,000 coronavirus test kits to the US as Beijing and Washington accuse each other of being the origin of the disease
[MAIL] China's richest man is donating one million face masks and 500,000 coronavirus test kits to the United States to help the world's largest economy fight the outbreak, which has killed at least 5,000 people worldwide.

The tycoon's aid comes as Beijing and Washington spar over the origin of the deadly disease, known as COVID-19.

Jack Ma, worth £31.6billion, announced the decision on Friday through his account on Twitter-like Weibo.
