The Chinese companies stockpiling Sydney’s medical supplies
A Chinese company in Sydney has sent an explosive email to staff instructing them to stockpile medical supplies.
Workers from Chinese real estate developer Poly Developments and Holdings were told to urgently find masks anywhere they could and were strongly encouraged to buy from pharmacies across Sydney.
It comes after Australian healthcare workers have reported shortages of important personal protective equipment (PPE) in hospitals across the country as they deal with coronavirus.
"If you have time please drop by your local pharmacy to check if there are any 3MN95 or 8210 masks for sale," the email obtained by 60 Minutes reads.
The staff assured the company that they were searching the city from Eastwood to Hornsby, Penrith and Mona Vale for masks, an email reply revealed.
Poly Developments and Holdings are not the only company to do such a thing.
A whistleblower told 60 Minutes he saw tonnes of gloves, masks, gowns, sanitiser and other vital medical supplies being packaged in his Sydney office to be shipped out of Australia to China.
The anonymous witness worked at Greenland Group, another Chinese-owned property development company in Sydney.
