Why can Vietnam take away production orders from brands such as Nike and Adidas from the Chinese market?
Since yesterday, many friends said that they could not find a list of cooperative manufacturers producing KN95 in the white list of the US EUA, and clicked on the official US EAU authorization Check the list link to check the cooperative manufacturers, and find that the original 74 whitelists suddenly only have 14 left!
Starting from the US EUA authorization in early April and ending As of April 26, 74 Chinese KN95 manufacturers have entered the US EUA whitelist. Of course, this also means that KN95 masks produced by manufacturers in this whitelist can be allowed to enter the US market.
On the contrary, according to market news on April 16, Vietnam is planning to provide the United States with 200,000 locally produced medical masks; previously, Vietnam The first batch of more than 450,000 protective suits has been shipped to the United States for use by health and medical department staff in the latter’s fight against the COVID-19 epidemic. It can be seen that now that the global shortage of masks has intensified, Vietnam has also ushered in greater development opportunities.
“Made in Vietnam”
