Chinese mask factories are closing down. Many netizens and business owners revealed the reasons: rapid expansion, a huge increase in prices of machinery and raw materials, and the inability to export masks after international requirements became stricter. One netizen commented: “Mask factories closed down, Chinese-made masks are worth less than papers, this is the epitome of the bankruptcy of Chinese mask diplomacy!”
On May 2, a mask factory closed down in Anqing City in Anhui province and a video of the unmarketable masks piling up in the yard has been circulating online. In fact, as early as April 25, netizens exposed that the mask factories in Shenzhen are now closed too.
Anqing City is a base of the medical masks industry. Netizens exposed that a while ago, hundreds of mask factories were established overnight in Tongcheng County of Anqing. So far, more than a thousand mask factories stopped their operations.
An employee of a mask factory, Mr. Li, indicated that after the prices of machinery and raw materials increased and the exporting of masks failed due to strict requirements from the international community on quality, many mask factories have closed down.
“The nonwoven fabric, used as the middle layer, now costs more than $700,000 yuan ($99,110 USD) per ton. The cost of manufacturing is high, so they are unable to continue producing.”
A video dated April 30 on YouTube shows that a mask factory closed down and the employee went to find jobs at another mask factory without success. Many mask factories have stopped hiring.

“This was the mask factory I used to work at and now there is nobody, it is closed down for sure.”
“Boss, are you hiring? No? Not hiring. Hmm, many factories stopped their production.”
“Boss, do you need anybody here? Not hiring.”
“It is wrong that everybody went straight ahead to produce facial masks. The real medical facial masks need to be produced in a sterile environment and it is totally irresponsible to sell masks that are produced in regular workshops or in garages. Therefore, some masks are not selling and the production stopped, as a result, factories closed down.”
At first, China fooled the world with its masks, now that the U.S. became self-sufficient and Taiwan was able to export masks, the pandemic has eased! China's massive production capacity was completely abandoned! The price of greed!”
