The unemployment site in Florida does not work AT ALL and has been completely shut down for 4 days. No one has received the $600 fed supplement or anything at all. How is this allowed to happen at all? What are you doing exactly?!?

Can we trust anything coming from China? I think I’ll make my own mask and gloves.

Okaynow what?

Even if manufacturing doesn’t return to USA we must make sure it comes from a well compensated reliable country

This is a good move. Since the western countries are complaining about the 'faulty' medical supplies from China. Now, China is *thoroughly* inspecting each piece, so no more 'faulty' ones, the west should be quite excited about that.

They can keep em

Now exports must meet local standards of the importing country. No more buying non-compliant goods and then blaming MadeInChina

FUCK CHINA, CHINA IS ASSHOE

US just blame china one wat or another. There are newly established firmed try to meet the demand from west just in a couple of months. Then west complained about the quality sub par. Then china raised the par. US now blamed china for blocking.

Make America self-reliant!

These r kits made in China by American companies needed2fight the chineseWuhanVirus!!Each day of delay means so many lost lives.Scheming,ungrateful Chinese arm twisting US during a China created humanitarian crisis.A friend in need is no friend of the Chinese. realDonaldTrump

Go ahead to make them by yourself. You have no time to complain here. China is doing right thing now.

boomerang effect- unfortunate

Don’t fan the flames of hiccups that naturally happen

On the one hand, you are rumoring that there are problems with Chinese products. On the other hand, you are saying that China's testing of products is too strict, resulting in impeded shipments. Deep-rooted media prejudices are the real cause of the outbreak!

Can't trust or depend on the Communist Chinese government...... WhiteHouse TheDemocrats GOP ChinaDaily globaltimesnews PDChina XHNews cnni

Time to move critical manufacturing back onshore.

Just another reason to bring back manufacturing to the USA. Its a national security issue.

Masks don't help and not clear if test kits from China are accurate.

WSJ or the DOS should be honest and say the restrictions were imposed by China to make sure no faulty medical goods were exported from China? This is good will and being responsible from China’s part. And you guys spin the title like that. Half truth is not the truth!

Your news is misleading. The whole China is reorganizing the market related to medical goods because your medias complain the goods exported were not good. At that time,Chinese government was busy handling the virus and market was a mess,so now it's the time to focus on quality.

Sux. Bring manufacturing home. Next, they’ll choke off our pharmaceuticals.

STOP BUYING FROM CHINA ITS WHAT GOT US HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a great reason to move manufacturing back to the USA.

Stuck?! more like, we need to test that shit before it gets over here.

Did any of you read the actual information about what is going on - IKEA making medical devices in China - maybe it is okay to have someone actually looking at what's being shipped before we end up with a bunch of sub-standard PPE's and get further into our pandemic due to haste.

Lol fake news strike again

The China test kits were reported no use.

aShantyIrish Infected PPE isn't much help. Would you trust the people who repeatedly lied about China Coronavirus & cost human lives?

Bullshit

Yes, this is a big f***ing problem

FUCK CHINA!

But u,s didn't send an approval,right? Enen if u,s need a strict standard,we just make it more strict,any way,for the safety of Americans

So the Americans don't trust Chinese testing kits and said they can make their own, but still want testing kits from China? If the US is so great and self sufficient, why is this even a concern? Oh right, just anti-China propaganda from WSJ.

Still made in China? Who needs those fake products? CCPVirus ChinaLiedPeopleDied

Burn it all. They are not to be trusted.

Why would we accept anything from china?

2 purposes : 1. To make sure all goods are made by licensed factories and satisfy the destination country's standards. 2. To make sure shipments are being sent to the country which placed orders through formal channels. Mainly to prevent interceptions by certain rouge country

Intentional?

Idiots like SenTomCotton who know virtually nothing will play this up. Let’s look at the other side. After years of trump trying to destroy their economy trying to shift supply out of China now in a crisis you want China to bail trump out? Trumps style doesn’t work!!!

Good. This will force American ingenuity once again after 30 years of outsourcing our production. No more

Look no further

Ok gringo

LucasFoxNews The lefts constant push for globalism strikes again.

produce the goods here wake the fuck up

Keep them there ! Use ours !

One day we'll get tired if all of this winning.

Well. Of course. How are those tariffs working out?

When we tried to send out as many medical goods as possible, Western media accused us for quality issues. Now we tightened the regulations to ensure quality, you blame us for hoarding? You guys are hard to please man...

Another reason why China is our enemy, mark my words after this whole pandemic is over the USA will go to war with China for causing the coronavirus.

So people only read the title right?

Just keep piling up the mistakes.

Half of them probably don’t even work!

Also because we import every damn item known to man ... from China.

China must be very careful because somebody just give us a bite as soon as they receive our courtesy, and ask for more right away. it take us a bit while to get used to this immodesty.

So quality control issues are the culprit? Never seems to bother anything destined for the amazon supply chain where some of the poorest quality crap in the world flows freely

First Trump vilifies China, then starts a trade war. Now that we need China’s PPE it’s not surprising that they may not be quite as enthusiastic to give it over as one might expect.

Aren't trade wars great? Have we had enough winning yet?

It like the hole thing was planed to stop export restrictions 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

The nation needs better problem solvers STACK!!! I'd be on the phone and have thus cleared up in a day!! EVERYBODY that needs to touch would be dragged out of meetings or whatever!!!

wonder who put the restrictions on? every one thank trump once again

Payback for Trumpboy.

How's that for the new crop of leaders in the intelligence communities.

China doing same shit to Japan and elsewhere 🖕🖕🖕

LucasFoxNews THANK GOD. CHINA HAS POISONED ALL TESTS AND SUPPLIES WITH VIRUS! FIFTH COLUMN IN CCP HAS EXPOSED EVERYTHING TO GERMAN INTEL. CCP FIFTH COLUMN IS GROWING: ALL WILL SOON BE COMMON KNOWLEDGE.

Leave em there...we dont need them, they are sub par ar best we make our own.

Your move Trump

(1) Thanks for reminding the US to terminate all of its manufacturing relationships with China. (2) Why does China need the goods so badly of they’ve essentially stopped having any new cases? Maybe stop lying...

I will vote for the candidate that promises to end this dependency in 4 years.

LucasFoxNews No matter. We should not trust anything that comes from China, period.

' 'trade wars are good, and easy to win'.... Someone once said...3/2/18..right before he disbanded America's pandemic team and assigned them to search for WMD..

'Simulating the Elimination of the U.S. Corporate Income Tax'

Maybe Trump should call Xi!

This is intentionally procrastinating. Xi and CCP hide their faces behind masks but their real ones are ugly. They are evil!

BuyAmerican

This is a prime example why protectionism doesn’t work. Free trade is the only way to go.

Dear China colleagues, pls release it since this is to save life. may be to save your citizens in US, if it has a quality issue pls hold it. if it has a paperwork issue Then its not a time to check the checklist

Fake news! It is the US who banned Chinese standard masks! And challenge the quality again and again, totally malicious accusation. US people need to know the truth! Your government doesn’t care about your lifes at all!!!

Another excuse for the Trump administration to take advantage of.

Haha, that's payback for bullying your way out of responsibility Trumpyboy. 😂

The reason we need to stop relying on China and start manufacturing in the US again.

We can see the mask making machines on video. They're clearly not all that complex. Here's an idea - put industrial engineers on making the machines then put unemployed people on making masks. Soon enough, there will be lots of masks not under the control of a hostile country.

Let’s ask if the MAGA MAGGOTS CRAP THAT “DADDYS little grifter ivanka” makes in China USEING Chinese childern as slave labor are still getting in to USA from China but life saveing equipment cant ! criminal enterprise trumps

相変わらず意地悪するなぁ。仲悪いなぁ
