.@Demosisto has bought 1.2 millions masks from Honduras, saying they targeted countries which did not trade much with China. Joshua has accused the government of not doing its job properly to overcome obstacles when buying surgical masks. scmp.com/news/hong-kong…
“Many of the Chinese can just buy in bulk with millions in cash paid upfront. We can only wire money after confirming the deal, and that makes it hard for us to get supplies,” Joshua said. “Choosing a country that has less of a trade connection with China minimises competition.”
With help from @hkdc_us & Miss A, Joshua managed to reach a surgical mask company in Honduras able to sell them masks at a relatively cheap rate within 2 weeks. "To avoid export controls, we transported masks from Honduras to Miami, then to Taiwan before arriving in HK. "
“We looked for routes that could send us the supplies right away.” Joshua accused HKGov Economic & Trade Offices working overseas of “failing to do their jobs” by not finding a way around the export challenges.
