Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) introduced legislation Thursday to repatriate pharmaceutical manufacturing from China to America, aiming to reduce a dependency that could seriously limit the U.S. coronavirus response.
The bill, which Cotton introduced with Rep. Mike Gallagher (R., Wis.), aims to severely curtail the volume of Chinese active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) from the U.S. medical drug supply. The PRC currently produces most of the world's APIs—the "active ingredients" in commonly used drugs—leaving the United States and other nations critically dependent on it for medicines.

Definitely in conflict with what I read. Who knows at this point.
Supplicating the US to China was completely bipartisan.
GHW Bush started US on that road.
Let everyone make their own decision.
Cut the cord with China completely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That is what should have happened after Tiananmen Square.
ABOUT DAMN TIME!!! NOW MOVE IT!!!
NO aspirin is made in the US now. NONE
Bill Clinton was 100% bought by the Chinese. He would have undone any punative measure but in place by Bush 1 pronto.
There were no punitive measures taken by GHW Bush, there should have been.
I think many are waiting to be sure Trump wins again.
“Once this ends, absent government action, it’ll be “full speed ahead back to cheap Chinese crap”.”
Yep! People are going to want their $150 Black Friday TVs that blow out a backlight after a year of operation. Who cares about funding Communist regimes that kill political dissidents for fun when they can sell us dirt cheap electronics that last a full year! Moreover, they add features to stuff like networking equipment that allow them to eavesdrop on us ... probably for our own safety of course. (sracasm implied of course).
I *really* hope the world wakes up to the disgusting CCP and starts using tactics that will end their reign of terror. That group of people is WORSE than the scum that ran USSR.
And ZERO percent made in China.
At this point I’m worried they’ll poison us.
Should have never gotten to this point. Reliance on Red China for essentials is permitting the US to become a near vassal state to the Communists.
“...Supplicating the US to China was completely bipartisan.
GHW Bush started US on that road.....”
No disagreement here. As a matter of fact, I got banned on here many years ago for complaining about Bush doing just that kind of crap. But you are correct...completely bipartisan...just like the vetting of Obama...both sides violated the Constitution for the queer POS. Globalist RINOs are just as much the enemy as the communist RATs.
Good.
True story.
