In addition to offering cutting-edge technology and solutions, an increasing number of Chinese enterprises and residents are providing much-needed medical protective gear to foreign countries.

Jack Ma, founder of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding, said, "At such a moment, only by sharing resources and experiences can we overcome the disaster."

The Jack Ma Foundation and the Alibaba Foundation have increased efforts to provide medical masks and protective suits to many European countries and the United States.

Africa's response to the outbreak also received a major boost when the two foundations donated more than 1.5 million laboratory diagnostic test kits and over 100 metric tons of infection prevention and control materials to the continent.

A number of Chinese tech companies have also launched platforms on which Chinese doctors can offer online medical advice to people overseas. The Hangzhou-based digital health company WeDoctor has launched a Chinese-English language platform, the Global Consultation and Prevention Center, in a bid to integrate medical resources from home and abroad.
