(snip) the key ingredients for so many essential drugs, from antibiotics and birth control pills to treatments for cancer, depression, high cholesterol and HIV/AIDS, are purchased from China, says Rosemary Gibson, co-author with Janardan Prasad Singh of a new book called "ChinaRx: Exposing the Risks of America's Dependence on China for Medicine."

China has exclusive manufacturing agreements for drugs for anesthesia, cancer and HIV/AIDS, along with other medicines that "we use every day, not only in hospitals but in our own medicine chests," Gibson says, adding that China is now the world's only source of antibiotics (snip)

Partner, I think that Wall Street was sold U.S. manufacturing to the Chicoms lock stock and barrel for the almighty dollar $$$$!

Partner, the corporate supplier partnerships that have been formed here in the U.S.A. by corporate America have mostly benefitted the ChiComs so much!

"This is why President Trump is fighting for the American Worker and the American family."

I am pretty sure that the American worker knows these little facts. I is shameful what corporate America has done to us American citizens.

We already know why Corporate America has formed these supplier partnership with China and it is all to improve the bottom line on profits.

News agencies should do a report on the vast network of legal manufacturing of drugs China has. It’s stunning and easy to see why they could slip under the net illegal drugs as well.

If you’ve watched any of the videos on port entry, border entry, and mail confiscations they hide these illegal drugs in all sorts of manufacturing wrappers, from food wrappers to electrical wrappers etc. which are simply packaged in whatever they’re actually producing.

China makes most of the world’s goods. South Korea and Japan produce the rest.

You can go back to 1993 and thank the Clinton's for the abandonment of US companies producing vaccines.

In 1993, she first proposed nationalizing the vaccine industry. She settled for a Vaccines for Children Program that saw the federal government buy up over half of all available vaccines at government-set prices. The result? Companies stopped producing and investing in vaccines. The United States started experiencing vaccine shortages.

shades of things to come!

China has exclusive manufacturing agreements for drugs.
Who gave them that right?.

[BlackAdderess]

I don’t know, I’m thinking that our government was asleep at the switch and that the companies are going to do what benefits their stockholders financially.

Here we are. I really don’t envy Trump because he is the man who is trying to unravel messes like this that have accumulated over the decades.

[Vaduz]

Government wasn’t asleep at the switch the lobbyists paid them off almost every freak law we have is passed that way,agree with you about Trump.
