China has been asking other countries for medical supplies, because they are burning through what they have. This is problematic because China is the largest producer of many supplies.
But there are exceptions. The largest producer of gloves is … Malaysia. They had 18 million on hand, and have started shipping them to China.
Do not know about other basic supplies.
FWIW: In recent American disasters, we’ve also complained about our governments lack of stockpiles. On the other hand, we’ve found out that firms like Walmart and Home Depot have disaster preparedness stockpiles.
