BEIJING - China has sold nearly four billion masks to foreign countries since March, officials said on Sunday , as they tried to stem widespread fears over the quality of medical exports.

China has exported 3.86 billion masks, 37.5 million pieces of protective clothing, 16,000 ventilators and 2.84 million Covid-19 testing kits since March 1, customs official Jin Hai said, with orders to more than 50 countries.However, numerous nations - including the Netherlands, the Philippines, Croatia, Turkey and Spain - have complained about substandard or faulty medical products shipped from China.

Chinese officials hit back on Sunday at media reports over defective medical supplies, saying that they"did not reflect the full facts". The comments echoed remarks from Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying, who over the past week has repeatedly urged Western media not to"politicise" or"hype up" the issue.
