To contain the spread of COVID-19, China held a fashion show last week end to showcase latest trends in personal protective gear and equipment. As per reports, the China-Dandong Fashion Week was held in China’s northeastern province of Liaoning. It showcased hazmat suits and other protective equipment.

At the start of the pandemic, several protective gears exported by China had failed to pass the safety test and turned out to be faulty. Several nations including Spain, Turkey, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Britain and India had reported that the PPE kits imported from China were found to be faulty.

The health authorities in Spain, Turkey, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Britain reportedly paid millions of dollars to Chinese companies to secure the protective equipment but the kits received by them turned out to be defective. The Netherlands snapped up 600,000 masks from China, only to find out later that they did not meet the required quality standards.
