Hope assistance will include Chinese curriculum too. We don't need that and believe that there is a monitoring body

Begging for vaccine and now for technology. A country with no self respect. Shame!

This can be dangerous, who knows what kind of communist propaganda would be in these equipment along with monitoring software. It's China!
