The Chinese consumer electronics company Xiaomi donated tens of thousands of FFP3 face masks to Italy's government to help stop the spread of the coronavirus and to curb a shortage in the country's health materials.
中國消費電子公司小米向義大利政府捐贈了數萬個FFP3口罩，以幫助阻止新冠肺炎的傳播，並遏制義大利衛生材料短缺。
The official Xiaomi Italia Facebook page announced Thursday it was sending the first of multiple shipments of anti-coronavirus face masks to Italy's Civil Protection Department this week. The Beijing-based company produces everything from smartphones to laptops and earphones, and offered the FFFP3 masks as a token of gratitude for letting the electronics company settle in and feel "deeply integrated" after arriving in the European country two years before. Pictures of Xiaomi's face mask crate shipments featured a quote from the ancient Roman philosopher Seneca.

Italy's death toll rose to 366 people Sunday amid more than 7,300 confirmed cases of the COVID-19 illness. Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte signed a decree last week for a quarantine affecting 15 provinces and more than one-quarter of the country's 60 million people.

"The continuous growth and rapid expansion of Xiaomi in Italy are closely linked to our users, fans and the general public; this gesture therefore does not represent only a way to thank and to give our support, but it is the tangible demonstration that we feel an integral part of this country. And it is precisely this sense of belonging, combined with deep solidarity, that imposes a high sense of responsibility on all citizens as a global company," said Chew Shou Zi, CFO and President of International Xiaomi Corporation, in a statement provided to Mashable Italia over the weekend.
「小米在義大利的持續增長和快速擴張與我們的用戶、粉絲和大眾息息相關；因此，這一姿態不僅代表著感謝和支持我們的一種方式，而且是我們感到自己是這個國家不可分割的一部分的實實在在的證明。而正是這種歸屬感，加上深深的團結，才賦予了作為一家全球性公司的所有公民高度的責任感，」小米公司國際財務長兼總裁周壽子在上周末提供給Mashable Italia的一份聲明中說。
"We were immediately welcomed with great enthusiasm and it is a source of great pride to be able to offer our contribution today in favor of the Department of Civil Protection which is carrying out, with commitment and determination, an excellent job for the benefit of the whole community," the Xiaomi chief financial officer added to the Italian tech publication.
