Like Tessio said, “It’s business not personal”.
Market forces.
Just like Amazon is making huge profits from the lockdown.

Mike backed Tessio into a corner and Tessio made what (with what he knew) at the time was the smart decision.

Creating a pandemic and then profiteering off of it is a little personal.

All true.
But then the governor of California just awarded the Chinese a one billion dollar contract for face masks. And the terms of the contract are secret.
No one forced him to do it.
He could have at least given the My Pillow guy a look. He’s converted most of his factories in Minnesota into making face masks.
Oh wait, My Pillow guy is a friend of President Trump. We can’t have that can we?

The products are either 50% ineffective or contaminated. Let them have that market!

What a bunch of barbarians.

That's exactly what they are. Can you imagine us doing this? Or Switzerland or Canada or Hungary? Whenever I can possibly help it--and granted, it can be hard--I won't buy anything "Made in China." Ever again.
