From the article: > of the 102 Chinese companies with CE accreditation, just 21 were licensed to sell their products within China It's not clear to me what they're trying to do here. Why did they make this new law that prevents 80% of the accredited companies from exporting medical supplies?

> It's not clear I think it's 100% clear. > Why did they make this new law that prevents 80% of the accredited companies from exporting medical supplies? Your questions already has an answer: that was made with that exact intent. As I wrote above, even things that should not require any medical certification as such, like medical clothing and bedding, are now being turned around at customs. And those few random companies having full certifications, are turned around at customs too!

  Sorry, I should have been more clear and concise. Why do they want to limit exports from certified companies?

    > Why do they want to limit exports from certified companies? Put some thought to it. It's China, the government here doesn't need to resort to any legal tricks to crack down on anything, especially now. The sentiment that exports are being banned for fear of faulty tests being sent to export customers? One must be joking. That's, again, China, a country not having any problem with that. On other hand, exploiting this convenient pretext to deny the West medical supplies, under a guise of an iron wall adherence to the process is unassailable from the West, when the West always poked China for its inability to control exports. On other hand, the Chinese red cross (which is a 100% state ran organisation here,) has no problem buying, and exporting exactly the same medical supplies, and equipment.
