I don’t put anything in my mouth that comes from China.

Or on my skin.

I think you’d be shocked at how quickly and efficiently we can again “insource” anything we put our minds to. Things may become more expensive, but WW II showed us we can do these kinds of things in a hurry.

Well, lucky you, that you don’t take ANY Rx meds or vitamin supplements.

80% of ALL of our Rx meds are made in China and 90% of our antibiotics are made there.

Most vitamin supplement COMPONENTS are also Made in China.

This is not new. Very old news, in fact.

One of our most important commodities and necessitaties ( for MANY Americans, but, again, luckily not you) was sold to the lowest bidder (so Big Pharma and others could increase their profits), YEARS AGO.

Several folks have tried sounding the alarm, only to be smeared, or shut down, by TPTB.

We’ve been discussing this very dangerous situation, on the corona virus threads, for WEEKS.

(Read the book, China Rx: Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine, by Rosemary Gibson, to learn more.)

Hopefully, people here have prepared for possible shortages, accordingly.

Again, lucky for you, that you don’t have to be concerned.

My wife just returned from an extended stay in the EU. She reports it is the same regarding shopping in the EU since the last time she was there. Nothing she saw in the EU for sale in stores was made in China. Especially clothes. The clothes and shoes for sale in th EU are fantastic. And the food in grocery stores comes from all over the world. Australian beef, Danish hams, Dutch dairy at LOWER prices than in the USA. Every grocery store in the EU is like Whole Foods - but with better international selections..

She says it takes a while get used to shopping here in the USA after living in the EU for a while. Here there simply is no choice. All we get here is inferior Chinese made products and domestic crap food. Rock hard engineered fruit and produce. Tasteless beef and poultry. Mushy farm fish. Sucks to shop here in the USA when you know better.

Maybe you should get a clue. We are being played by the globalists and foolish comments like yours proves it. American agriculture is very efficient at producing an inferior product.

I’m not being played by anyone!

I don’t buy farmed fish, engineered fruit and only buy/raise grass fed/finished beef, and pastured eggs.

Maybe YOU should stop complaining, and try to be part of the solution (lobby Congress as hard as these Made in China lobbyists are), shop and source BETTER quality items, or, like I said...move to EU.

Also, many of the components of the products made in EU (clothing, for example) are imported to EU, from.....China :- /

Look at what is traded:

Clothes, apparel, shoes other consumer goods, almost nothing.

In the EU that is standard fare and you don't pay a premium for quality food.

The fabric, for those wonderful, EU made clothes, primarily comes from China :- /
