Chinese companies helping Ecuador

Chinese companies are deploying more manpower and resources for post-earthquake relief efforts in Ecuador to help the country recover, the Ministry of Commerce said on Wednesday.

China National Petroleum Corp and Huawei Technologies have not only purchased a large amount of lifesaving goods, but also encouraged their employees to donate personal belongings to people who have suffered heavy casualties and financial losses.

Wang Haijing, vice-president of the Red Cross Society of China, said three Chinese rescue teams with 330 kilograms of goods have arrived in Ecuador since Sunday. They recruited 15 translators, medical and construction professionals, for the mission.
