China has rejected White House adviser Peter Navarro's accusation on sending low-quality and even counterfeit coronavirus antibody testing kits to the United States and of "profiteering" from the pandemic.  

A spokesperson from the Ministry of Commerce of China said Navarro's accusation are groundless and extremely irresponsible. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, China has maintained good communication and cooperation with the certification and registration agencies of various countries including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure that the export of anti-epidemic materials meets the quality requirements of importers. 

China has so far exported tens of millions of test kits, and has been widely praised by the international communities. For those sold to the US, China has not yet received any complaint about the quality issue by the purchasers and users.
