The Indian consul-general in Hong Kong complained that the price of oxygen generators supplied by China has gone up and urged the Chinese government to lower the price. It's true that the price has doubled because Chinese companies are under
2/pressure to deliver the order of 60k oxygen generators within an extremely short notice. Prices of spare parts and raw material have gone up accordingly. Besides, as time is of essence, companies are working around the clock, they must pay over time or hire new workers.
3/China saw its economy grow 18% and its exports grow more than 50% in the first quarter, resulting in the phenomenon that it's difficult to find skilled workers now. The salaries have gone up too. There's no such thing as slave labor in China. Chinese companies must remunerate
4/adequately. So it's only reasonable the price has doubled for orders to be delivered within a couple of weeks which are carried out in several months in normal times.
Once the oxygen generators arrive on the Indian market, the price further goes up.... to reach ten times...
5/Indian government doesn't seem to be able to curb the domestic speculation of life saving equipments of extreme rarity but urges Chinese government to force companies to cut back prices. India further urges the Chinese government to increase the number of cargo flights.
6/ When the second wave hit India, latter asked the West for help, but India's western allies are either unable or unwilling to help. China's volunteer for help was received with coldness. When India finally accepted China's help, they think China's profiteering....
7/ Meanwhile, India is extremely grateful for the meagre help it received from its democratic allies, and in particular 500 oxygen generators and 500 respirators from Japan...
India seems to think that now that China is the pariah in the eyes of the West,
8/ it can deal with China from a position of strength...🤔
The reason I spend so much time on Twitter is that so many get a kick out of trampling on China... Do they really believe the lie of #UighurGenocide or they are just extremely nasty?
9/ So few see what China has done for the Covid relief of the world, including and especially its proclaimed enemies, in particular the US/West and India...The only thing China has received from them is insult, humiliation and aggression.

Biden is a copycat of President Xi. He wants to do everything Xi does. Xi said China will make the Chinese vaccine a public health product meaning China will not seek profit from it. Biden, to raise himself to Xi's moral high ground proposes to give up the patent right of
2/ vaccines. Except that American government doesn't own any vaccine patent rights. Pfizer's mRNA was developed by a German company. No wonder this aroused the intense ire of Merkel.
Given the sacrosanct principle of private property in the "free" world,
3/ Biden's proposal is just wind.
One wonders why the White House doesn't propose something feasible it has control of and which can be put into action right away, ie, lift the ban of vaccine raw material export which India needs so badly....
200 million tourists visit this open air prison every year and were enchanted with the good food, the friendliness of the locals, the beautiful sceneries...
China's open air prison tourism with staged dancing, singing, praying and other street behavioral art is a miracle!
I just hope tourist destinations like France won't believe the American bullshit this time and decides to do open air prison to attract tourists. France was tricked into wanting to genetically modify its soldiers based on the faulty US intelligence.
Children picking cotton are smiling. Are you sure it's slave labor? This is recreational outdoor school activity! Besides the black & white photos look like Tibet during Tibetan Slave Era before the CPC liberated Tibet in the 1950s...The Christian Church on fire looks fake.. 🤔
Come and ponder on the western delusion on China... In China, 200 million people visit Xinjiang every year. He is explaining to me a Chinese that Xinjiang children must smile and pick cotton to earn their dinner...
Disillusioned authentic American Baizuo (liberal) former diplomat:
"United States must make sure we do not have a peer competitor for our security. This is a brutalest philosophy. The proposition is that even if China were to change, adapted our constitution and laws wholesale,
we should still try to limit their growth, merely because we shouldn't have a peer competitor, even if it means pushing them back into poverty."
Cynical TV host: I don't mean this question cynically, sarcastically. What's wrong with that?
US hates China so much not because of the #UighurGenocide fake news It invented, but because China has become powerful enough to rival and overtake the US.
I'm sorry for the Baizuo diplomat who speaks fluent Chinese. Such a good man, having to serve the sinister US agenda...
I can understand the US desperation re. China's influence in Africa. Actually China Isn't the biggest investor in Africa. It's the 5th behind US, Britain, France and Netherlands. But China truly wants peace and prosperity for Africa. China has set up 26 Agricultural Demonstration
2/ Centres to teach the locals the farming know how with a view to help Africa to achieve food independence. China has reckoned that with the current arable land combined with some know-how, Africa should be able to provide food for two to three times the African population.
3/China teaches soil improvement, seed selection, irrigation techniques etc.
On the map, light orange are the places where China has set up Agricultural Demonstration Centres.
Do you think the USA (Monsanto!) would do such a thing to help Africa to achieve food independence?
