If it is not China, it would be India or somewhere else. It is called free market and capitalism (which is not always good.)

Interesting. My take was a byline about China is containing it and may be turning the tide. Of course that may not be true.

This has been a concern for a while.

U.S. policymakers worry about China 'weaponizing' drug exports

The U.S. relies on imported medicines from China in a big way. Antibiotics, over-the-counter pain meds and the stuff that stops itching and swelling — a lot of it is imported from China.

Tucker Carlson suggested a type of Marshal plan and I agree.

Quote:
We need to start making our essentials HERE in the US.
We need a modern Marshall Plan, one designed to rebuild American manufacturing. We should start tomorrow with medicine and technology to fight the coronavirus and then with antibiotics

If China's control over our healthcare stuff scares you, then do NOT read up on rare Earth minerals, and how it could impact our military.

China is at war with us, an economic war, and we had better wake up soon. They are much more prepared to survive WW3 than we are.

Our Federal Government needs to do a lot more about "strategic supply chains" than they are doing now. We have only initiated it for military supplies, but not medical, or food supply. China is buying our our food supply chain now too.

If they control medical stuff, food, and high tech military guidance systems (requiring rare Earth minerals), it's game-set-match, and they keep closing in on it. Wake up America!

I have been aware of that also. I could have started multiple threads on each critical item China can blackmail us with.

Thanks for starting this. I think more people (especially liberals) need to be made aware of the risk we are at with China. Trump is the first one to stand up to them. That alone qualifies him to be President.

Thank democrats for bringing China into WTO. It has been absolutely horrible for America, just like democrats love.



Quote:
“This is a good day for America,” Clinton said afterward. “In 10 years from now we will look back on this day and be glad we did this. We will see that we have given ourselves a chance to build the kind of future we want.”

Things have not worked out quite as the 42nd president hoped. Normalizing trade with China set our rival on a path to becoming the industrial powerhouse the world knows today, decimating American factory towns in the process and upending old assumptions about how trade effects the economy. Thanks to a growing body of academic research, we’re only just now beginning to understand the extent of the economic fallout, as well as the degree to which it has helped poison our politics.
