The rescue flight with medical staff and equipment that came from China to Italy did look (on tv) like it had many smallish cardboard boxes (probably protective equipment like masks/gloves/gowns) manually stacked in most of the passenger area.
Do not underestimate the chinese and their ability to raise the manpower to manually load a plane with cargo by carrying it onboard. Time will tell if we europeans can organize somebody to unload it. Or do we have to fly the chinese in to do that as well.
