| Chinese Bought Up Medical Supplies Early |
| 2020-03-27 |
| [SydneyMorningHerald] Chinese-backed company's mission to source Australian medical supplies. As the coronavirus took hold in Wuhan earlier this year, staff from the Chinese government-backed global property giant Greenland Group were instructed to put their normal work on hold and source bulk supplies of essential medical items to ship back to China. A whistleblower from the company has told the Herald it was a worldwide Greenland effort - and the Sydney office was no different, sourcing bulk supplies of surgical masks, thermometers, antibacterial wipes, hand sanitisers, gloves and Panadol for shipping. The company even posted its efforts of packing pallets in the company’s Sydney headquarters on social media. According to a company newsletter, the Greenland Group sourced 3 million protective masks, 700,000 hazmat suits and 500,000 pairs of protective gloves from "Australia, Canada, Turkey and other countries." |

| #4 A whistleblower from the company has told the Herald it was a worldwide Greenland effort - and the Sydney office was no different, sourcing bulk supplies of surgical masks, thermometers, antibacterial wipes, hand sanitisers, gloves and Panadol for shipping. A buddy who lives in a very small Australian town near Sydney said busloads of Chinese have been coming through town buying up staples like TP, paper towels, wipes, sanitizers, etc. The cashiers in the local stores put a stop to it when they refused to sell to the hoarders. |

| #3 No comment Heh. All y'all just don't get Trump. He can be over the top, but he is fair. You come at him, he'll come back at you hard. Play nice and he'll say nice things in return. It is very Jacksonian. Trump and Trump *could* have called him a slant-eyed, bat-licking Chinaman which would have played well with his political base, but he didn't. Instead, it was "good conversation, working together, much respect." It was the grownup thing to do. Ask yourself, which one better serves America? |

| #2 Trump is just issuing blather right now. He has a war going now, he will deal with Emperor Xi later. Like when Seward wanted Pres. Lincoln to pick a fight with the British during our civil war over an incident at sea. "One war at a time," said the President. |

| #1 "Just finished a very good conversation with President Xi of China. Discussed in great detail the CoronaVirus that is ravaging large parts of our Planet. China has been through much & has developed a strong understanding of the Virus. We are working closely together. Much respect!" No comment |
