She also announced that the government\u2019s covid-19 response team was holding online meetings with Chinese specialists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is evidence of the solidarity of friendly countries,\u201d Maduro <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NicolasMaduro\/status\/1244014076361129985?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">echoed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That first shipment was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laopinion.com.co\/venezuela\/covid-19-venezuela-recibe-segundo-cargamento-de-ayuda-de-china-194218\">followed<\/a> by a second one last weekend with 500,000 rapid testing kits, 70,000 infrared thermometres and a delegation of medical specialists.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Any nature of assistance is welcome<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In a rare break from its non-partisan and pragmatic diplomacy, Ambassador Li Baorong publicly <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/VTVcanal8\/status\/1240697352752476160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1240697352752476160&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.el-carabobeno.com%2Fvenezuela-recibe-4-mil-015-pruebas-de-covid-19-desde-china%2F\">underscored<\/a> his country\u2019s \u201cclear support for the Venezuelan government and people in the midst of so many efforts to guarantee preserving the health and lives of people despite the most severe, inhuman and criminal sanctions\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Li was liekly referring to the US, which has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-venezuela-politics-crude-sanctions-ex\/explainer-u-s-sanctions-and-venezuelas-trade-and-oil-industry-partners-idUSKCN1V420P\">frozen assets<\/a> belonging to the Venezuelan state and offered a US$15 million reward for information leading to Maduro\u2019s arrest. His surprising remarks come at a moment of heightened tension between Beijing and Washington, given Donald Trump\u2019s frequent use of the phrase \u201cChinese virus\u201d to refer to the new coronavirus.<\/p>\n<h2>While Bolsonaro bashes China, governors seek its help<\/h2>\n<p>President Jair Bolsonaro and his family went in the opposite direction. As covid-19 tightened its grip on Brazil, his son, congressman Eduardo, blamed China for spreading the virus. He took a page out of Trump\u2019s playbook and said on Twitter that if the Chinese government hadn\u2019t hidden the disease for so long, it wouldn\u2018t be spreading globally.<\/p>\n<p>After a week of tensions and the Chinese ambassador\u2019s stern <a href=\"http:\/\/spanish.xinhuanet.com\/2020-03\/19\/c_138894472.htm\">warning<\/a> that the incident \u201cwould hurt China-Brazil relations\u201d, Bolsonaro finally got president Xi Jinping on the phone and apparently made amends. In the meantime, governors from several Brazilian states and some mayors decided to bypass Bolsonaro and write to the Chinese government requesting help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAllow me to underscore that any nature of assistance is welcome,\u201d wrote governor Ibaneis Rocha, of the Federal District, which includes the capital Brasilia.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile the <a href=\"https:\/\/valor.globo.com\/brasil\/noticia\/2020\/03\/24\/banco-do-brics-oferece-ajuda-de-us-1-bilhao.ghtml\">New Development Bank<\/a>, the Beijing-based financial institution managed by the Brics countries, is ready to issue a US$1 billion loan to Brazil to improve its health and social infrastructure.<\/p>\n<h2>Southern Cone gets donations from China<\/h2>\n<p>With over 900 cases detected and amid a general lockdown, Argentina also received aid to battle coronavirus in the form of equipment and health supplies from China, as well as technical advice from Chinese health experts via videoconference.<\/p>\n<p>The Alberto Fern\u00e1ndez administration received over 50,000 tests to diagnose the Covid-19, 10,000 disposable protection suits, 2,000 protection goggles, 200,000 face masks, 20,000 disposable gloves, 10 respirators, and 550 digital thermometers, with more to come.<\/p>\n<p>In neighbouring Uruguay, the order was reversed. The country first donated supplies to China and now is receiving donations in kind. In February, the Lacalle Pou administration shipped dozens of cases of facemasks, gloves and alcohol-based hand gel to China, Uruguay\u2019s main trade partner.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in Chile, with over 3.700 cases, among the highest in the region, China agreed to send 1.000 ventilators, given that the country only has 1.700 ones, fewer than in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina.<\/p>\n<p>With no formal relationship diplomatic ties with China, Paraguay remains the lone country not to receive coronavirus aid. The Frente Guasu, an alliance of leftist parties, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimahora.com\/desinteres-cooperacion-cuba-y-china-popular-n2878094.html\">sent a bill<\/a> to Congress, which is already closed, asking the country to establish relations with China in order to get aid and deal with the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<h2>Private Chinese philanthropy in Latin America<\/h2>\n<p>It isn&#8217;t just the Chinese government that has offered to come to the rescue. Jack Ma, founder of online retailer Alibaba and one of China\u2019s wealthiest citizens, has also rushed to Latin America\u2019s rescue.<\/p>\n<div class='block--pullout-stat block--pullout-stat--float cd-shortcode--factbox'>\n                <p class='block--pullout-stat__title'>2,000,000<\/p>\n                <div class='block--pullout-stat__content'>\n                    <br \/>\nthe number of masks billionaire Jack Ma donated to 24 Latin American countries<br \/>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<p>On Twitter, Ma <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JackMa\/status\/1241589940531515399\">announced<\/a> a donation of medical supplies to 24 Latin American countries, including 2 million masks, 400,000 testing kits and 104 ventilators. He also offered to cover transportation costs. Mexico, Argentina, Ecuador, Brazil and Peru are among the countries to benefit.<\/p>\n<p>In many ways, China is one of the only countries able to supply the world with much-needed medical equipment given the strong manufacturing industries it has built in recent decades as wealthy nations moved operations there to lower operating costs, according to Santoro.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow these countries are realising that having a strong industrial base is actually a matter of national security,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is not something you can solve overnight. But, in this crisis, that\u2019s how fast you need solutions.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Latin America struggles to prepare its underfunded public health systems for a surge in coronavirus cases &#8211; the most challenging crisis in recent history &#8211; many are looking to China for aid.
