China exported more than 220 billion face masks last year, the commerce ministry said Friday, the equivalent of nearly 40 per person outside China as demand for protective gear skyrocketed during the coronavirus pandemic.

Shifting billions of dollars' worth of the coverings has become an important driver of China's exports after COVID-19 virtually halted economic activity in the earlier part of 2020 and ravaged growth.

On Friday, vice-minister for commerce Qian Keming told reporters that in addition to masks, China exported 2.3 billion pieces of protective gear and one billion test kits last year, "making an important contribution to the global fight against the epidemic".

Well...there is quantity and quality. The surgical masks I paid for have a sour odor to them. I think the odor is caused by bacteria. I do not use them.

It is REALLY UNFORTUNATE that the US has not made enough masks and other PPE for widespread domestic use. A travesty.
 
I had bought a 200ct bag of paper napkins and they stunk terribly! Later I realized it was the plastic bag that stunk. Took all the napkins out of the plastic bag to air out for a few days. Now the paper napkins have no smell at all on them!
