Keep in mind, 3M is a U.S. owned company doing manufacturing business inside China. However, Beijing took control over 3M and nationalized their manufacturing facilities. But Roman doesn’t want to admit what happened. Listen carefully at 03:00:
“we have produced millions of respirators and now we have arranged to import more masks from China. We have an agreement to allow us to export ten million additional masks a month out of China”…
He wants to use 3M’s, now excess Chinese production, to fulfill US contract obligations. These are an inferior product. He said so himself. This is at least part of what he’s angling toward. Why wouldn’t he use his excess Chinese production to meet export market demand—to supplant the US produced product he can no longer ship out of the US. I’m guessing it’s because all those customers want the superior quality US produced product.
I found it ironic that two weeks ago, when media outlets were celebrating 3M, their commercial breaks featured ads for attorneys seeking to represent people who wore 3M’s substandard hearing protection while serving in the military— “ knowingly sold the dual-ended Combat Arms Earplugs, Version 2 (CAEv2) to the United States military without disclosing defects that hampered the effectiveness of the hearing protection device.”
