	I paid the government employee a bribe (or: backhander) to hurry up the documentation process.

I think that was already pointed out in a much more pleasing manner.

"The Jack Ma Foundation and the Alibaba Foundation gave 100,000 masks, 50,000 test kits and five respirators, which arrived in Mexico midnight on Tuesday, according to the Chinese Cultural Center in Mexico.

China, where coronavirus originated last year, has been courting Latin American nations with medical diplomacy as regional powerhouse the United States struggles to contain the spread of the highly-contagious virus within its own borders.

Last month, Ebrard said China's government was helping Mexico obtain 300 respirators.

"They have had a commendable attitude with Mexico. They have shared with us all their information, their findings," he said."

Hopefully these supplies are not the same as the sub-standard equipment China sent to Italy and Spain.

There is no free lunch with the Chinese government, they live for money. They send defective equipment to Spain, sold the masks France had ordered to the US because they pay more for them and if they do anything for free there is an ulterior motive, that is the way the Chinese government works. They lied as long and as much as they could about the virus and we have them to thank for not being warned properly
