It might sound good to keep the masks within country but completely irresponsible towards everyone else. If everyone does that (not necessarily masks, could be other medical products), all of the world will be in a big shit since production is not evenly distributed across the countries. And France likely would end up with a short end of the stick.

Because neighboring country can ban export of something else in need. Also it breaks supply chains. If everyone does that, overall situation will be much worse than if everyone just did nothing.

Say one man has food, another man has water, both in scarce amount. If they keep them for their own consumption only, both men will die.

The man without water will die quickly. The other man lives. That's how the real world sometimes works too.

Dies and exports covid-19 to neighboring country.
