Millions of dollars have been donated to help China's struggling hospitals, but in Hubei, doctors still say they're short of basic medical supplies
Beijing On a gray afternoon in the Chinese city of Wuhan, a suited man lifts a box of 3M masks into the trunk of a black vehicle next to a Red Cross warehouse. White characters on the side of his car read:"Vehicle for government officials."
His actions were livestreamed by a state media outlet Saturday and immediately sparked outrage online. "We didn't donate stuff for government officials to use, they were for those on the front lines," wrote one user on Chinese social media site Weibo, where the government official's number plate became one of the most searched terms over the weekend.
