because of new Chinese policies

Urgently needed US-bound medical supplies are sitting in warehouses in China and can't reach the American hospitals and companies that have ordered them, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing suppliers, brokers, and US diplomatic memos.

Business Insider previously reported that US companies were waiting on tens of thousands of antibody kits that would detect past exposure to the virus.

One order for 1.4 million COVID-19 tests made by the Massachusetts medical company PerkinElmer can't leave its factory in Suzhou, China, because new rules require a particular certification, according to a State Department memo cited by the newspaper.

PerkinElmer told The Journal it's working with the Chinese government on the issue.

Maybe they're getting their shit together.

Might because they are waiting to put trumps name in it.
