CCP Officials Profit From Medical Supplies Amid Pandemic

Jiang Pengyong, a Chinese senior official’s grandson, is going public with his story of participating in a scheme to purchase personal protective equipment from foreign countries and selling them to the Chinese regime. Jiang initially agreed to the scheme because he thought he was contributing to the nation’s epidemic crisis. Jiang owns Shenzhen Jipingyong Tech Company, a Shenzhen-based e-commerce company. He procured the medical supplies through his company that has an office in South Korea where Jiang is based. Huang Zhongnan, his broker in China, told Jiang that the medical supplies would be donated to frontline healthcare workers or ordinary citizens who needed it to fend against the spread of COVID-19. But Huang later revealed that the medical supplies were handed off to officials in government and foundations, who sold them for a profit. Jiang decided to go public with his story to unveil the corruption in China.
