It is no longer new for Chinese purchasing agents to snap up milk powder in Australia, but recently a Chinese woman sent Australian milk powder back to China by air, saying it was "for the good of Australia", causing discussion among many netizens. It is reported that the woman can make a profit of 4000 Australian dollars per airlift.
The Daily Mail reported on the 7th that 40-year-old Chen Song (Song Chen, moved to Newcastle three years ago before going to supermarkets to "sweep" baby formula and sell it to China by air. Ms. Chen admitted that her local purchases of milk powder had been restricted, such as orders issued by supermarkets such as Coles and Woolworths, as well as pharmacies, and that she could only sweep through her friends. "I send milk powder back to China by air, and many of my Chinese friends need it. When I don't have time to buy milk powder, a lot of local friends will help me, they will buy different brands of milk powder at different times, because now a person can not buy too much. I don't have a lot of business. Most of the people who help me buy milk powder are my friends, as some people do in Sydney. " Chen Song said.
As for how much profit will be made each time, Chen said it depends on the situation, but each airlift Chen Song can earn about 4000 yuan. Although the Chinese rush to buy milk powder in Australia caused some local dissatisfaction, but Chen does not think so, she said her approach is conducive to Australia's economic development, because she bought the most expensive milk powder. "most Australians only buy cheap milk powder, but the Chinese buy expensive milk powder." Chen Song said.
Reports say it has become increasingly common for Asians to empty milk powder from Australian supermarkets in recent years, although the practice has not violated local laws, but has angered many Australian parents. At present, many supermarkets in Australia have certain restrictions on the purchase of milk powder by everyone. It was previously reported that tons of Aetamet and A2 milk powder had been photographed on the ground waiting to be sent to China at a warehouse in Sydney, which would be sent directly to China and then distributed throughout the country. The head of Top Warehouse, the company behind the warehouse, said they were just shippers and were not responsible for direct sales. A former staff member of the warehouse says they deliver large quantities of milk powder to China every day.
