Moreover, the operations of multiple Chinese companies are also working to donate medical supplies in large quantities or mulling such plans.

As much as 100,000 surgical masks and gloves are planned to be donated to medical institutions, post offices and sanitary operators and other people from essential services, Xu Chen, chairman of China General Chamber of Commerce-U.S.A. (CGCC) and president and CEO of Bank of China USA.

Xu said, the above-mentioned medical supplies as the first batch of a donation plan would be handed out in the name of a fund under CGCC.

Still, the shipment of medical supplies has been slow and met unexpected delays after landing at airports in the United States, according to Catherine Feng, senior vice president for corporate communication and business relation with New York Branch of Bank of China.

Feng added that "we're making efforts to secure delivery of the medical supplies."

One local subsidiary of another Chinese financial service company is considering the donation of 100,000 masks with various options, a source with the company told Xinhua.

"If the main society doesn't step in quick enough, the donations by individuals like us, only could meet requirement for a very short time," said Wang, citing the difficulties to find medical supplies.

"Virus is a virus, and it does not pertain to any race, nationality nor ethnicity. We want to help our society to fight against this virus and everyone should do anything possible to help the society to go through this difficult time," stressed Wang.
