At the beginning of 2020, the scene of all masks being sent back to China
began to be staged in countries around the world:
Major pharmacies in the United States began to run out of antipyretics,
Chinese purchasing agents forced pharmacies to "restrict purchases"!
There are also people in big cities in China,
who have snatched up all the antipyretics in small counties.
Chinese people "sweep" masks and send them back to China, and pharmacies restrict purchases
Do you remember that in early 2020, Chinese purchasing agents swept away all the masks from the United States, Japan, Canada, Australia and other countries and sent them back to China?
Nearly three years later, this scene happened again. This time, instead of sweeping away masks, they swept away antipyretics and cough medicines. Turning over social media, there are everywhere selfies and videos of Chinese people after "sweeping drugs":
A Chinese netizen in the United States exposed the use of purchasing agents to scan goods Costco Photos of Tylenol, an antipyretic medicine, show that boxes and boxes of antipyretic medicine are being moved away. It is understandable to send a few to family members in China, but it is too much to prevent others from buying medicine:
Chinese netizens in Canada also lamented that all kinds of cold medicines have been swept away:
A netizen in Australia said that medicines that no one buys at discounts are now restricted:
Chinese netizens in France also said that local purchase restrictions have also begun:
A Chinese purchasing agent in the United States posted a video of her frantically shopping for medicine at Costco on social media yesterday (Thursday, December 15). Her shopping cart was filled with various cold medicines, antipyretics, vitamin C, etc.:
Netizens left comments on this video. Some netizens advised her: How about leaving some for the locals?
Some American netizens said, do you know how families with real children with fever and illness live? My baby had a fever yesterday, and my husband went to more than 10 stores in the rain, but all of them were sold out by your purchasing agent. The baby had a fever of 102 degrees overnight and coughed, and finally went to the emergency room. The bill was estimated to be more than $2000-$5000
. Another Chinese netizen in the United States also said: We also had a fever yesterday, but we didn’t have any. This kind of person disrupts the American market and is disgusting.
There is also a Chinese Canadian who left a comment: In order to make money, I have no shame. Have you considered the feeling that the locals can’t buy it? Doing so will drive up prices.
This Chinese purchasing agent has triggered overwhelming criticism from netizens:
Some netizens said that they bought some antipyretics for their relatives and friends in China and sent them back. The pictures they posted triggered complaints from netizens:
One netizen said: Is there a mistake, more than a dozen bottles? How many people need to get sick before they can finish more than a dozen bottles? Also leave some way for others to survive. Another netizen added: If everyone who came to Costco to buy medicine had more than a dozen bottles like you, they would be dead. You think there is a way to survive because everyone is a normal person and has made way for others to survive.
A netizen thinks that buying more than a dozen bottles of medicine to give to relatives and friends is a "uniform approach".
Some netizens laughed and said: Hahaha, with so many prepared, have they burned to the surface temperature of the sun?
Another netizen said: I originally thought about more than a dozen bottles. It would be okay if each family of relatives and friends can share one bottle... At first glance, there are 290 pills in each bottle. Is this the amount that I bought in 10 years? I suggest you buy a small bottle, 10 pills in a bottle.
Some netizens directly criticized this crazy purchasing behavior:
Some netizens said that after sending masks, they will not send them again this time:
Reuters also reported that Chinese purchasing agents are rushing to buy medicines in Australia. The report said that several pharmacies in Australia have begun to formulate purchase restriction policies, and pharmaceutical manufacturers are also increasing production.
"Chinese people like to hoard things. How can they have any leftovers? If they are not sick, they just stock up on medicines." A doctor in Shanghai told Reuters.
One from Beijing 42 Chang Linyun, a 20-year-old mother, said she tried to get an Australian friend to buy antipyretics for her young son: "I wanted to buy two bottles of Panadol and two bottles of Nurofen... (But) my friend told me that the pharmacies near her home in Melbourne had sold out of the antipyretics because they bought too many Chinese agents." Already sold out.
In Los Angeles, some netizens reported to the Los Angeles Chinese editor that several pharmacies near their homes have also begun to restrict the purchase of antipyretics. One of the Chinese netizens said that there has always been no shortage of cold medicines and antipyretics for adults, but in the past few days, the shelves of cold medicines and antipyretics in pharmacies have begun to be empty, and some pharmacies have begun to restrict purchases.
They robbed all the antipyretics in the small county.
Don’t think that these people only “became bad” after leaving the country. They also did the same thing at home and were denounced as: “What’s the difference between them and murderers?” You see, they visited four pharmacies, spent more than 1,500, and "showed off their wealth" by posting on social media:
Some netizens exposed their behavior and shared medicine grabbing strategies on social media. As a result, they robbed all antipyretics in a small county.
Such people live in first- and second-tier cities, but they focus on small counties hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away, such as: Guangxi Longzhou, Guangxi Liuzhou and other places:
then locates the local pharmacy on the online shopping platform, and after placing the order, the rider goes to the store to pick up the medicine, and then has the rider send the medicine to their city. If the rider refuses their unreasonable request, they will threaten to give the rider a negative review:
These people also proudly post their strategies on social media.
The medical conditions in small counties are already very average. In addition, medicines are snatched up by such people. Once a disease occurs, the health of local people will be greatly troubled. Many netizens expressed that they were very angry about this kind of behavior:
Some people posted dozens of bottles of medicine online and asked netizens what they still need? Netizens replied: "Is evil!"
