translated from Spanish: Ambassador of China to Chile: “I have no information on the donation of 500 fans”

China’s ambassador to Chile, Xu Bu,a, said he did not know the information about a possible donation of 500 mechanical fans the Asian country would make to Chile.” I have no information on the donation of 500 fans that the Chinese side would have compromised,” he told The Third. In this regard, he argued that “I understand that some Chilean companies are trying to buy 500 fans from China to donate to the Chilean government and the Ministry of Health.” However, the authority explained that there is support from his country for other countries, including Chile. “Regarding the purchase of fans, the Chilean side also contacted me to ask for collaboration. As China has limited capacity in the production of invasive fans, and global demand is enormous, many countries face difficulties in acquiring them. In any case, China will do its utmost to help Chile.” He even said that “many” companies and local governments in China are taking steps to support Chile “to my knowledge, Tianqi Lithium has committed to donating 200,000 medical disposable masks and 20,000 KN95 masks. Alibaba proposed donating 200,000 medical masks, 30,000 test kits and 10 fans.” Finally, he concluded that “some Chinese residents in Chile, from Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces, also made donations. We are in contact with the relevant Chilean departments to coordinate the delivery and transportation of donated inputs,” he replied.
