China hints at denying America drugs

Now that the number of new people infected with the coronavirus in China is slowing, the country's Communist Party is ratcheting up threats against the West, with a particularly nasty warning about access to life-saving drugs aimed at the United States.

In an article in Xinhua, the state-run media agency that's largely considered the mouthpiece of the party, Beijing bragged about its handling of COVID-19, a virus that originated in Wuhan and has spread quickly around the world, killing nearly 5,000 people and infecting thousands more. The article also claimed that China could impose pharmaceutical export controls which would plunge America into "the mighty sea of coronavirus."

Which will be passed on the consumers by the companies that will continue to import the pharmaceuticals.

Right. Exactly. Say A 20% tariff. Then if they move production back to the USA they well be guaranteed a 20+% profit!!! The greed motive will push production back here. That's how protectionism works. Think things ALL THE WAY thru for once.

Everything that DOD buys for our military is MADE IN USA!

So don’t start misleading people here!

That's why I said parts. Not the whole product, but important components.

That would guarantee Trump’s success in strategic diversification of our supply chain. I doubt that even China’s leaders are that stupid.

I thought most drugs came from India and Malaysia.

That would lend credence to the notion that this was a Chinese bioweapon all along.

I forget... What is the prescribed US strategic response to a mass bioweapon attack by a hostile power...

Could it be...

NUKES?!?

In retrospect, that’s the one thing they SHOULD have impeached Nixon for!!!

I don’t see any other way. If congress successfully sabotages Trump’s tough international policies we will be in trouble.

Hate to crush your hopes. When I heard this I considered consigning my many books about Hinduism and my favorite swamis to the trash.

China hints = biological warfare. FU China. FU China. FU China. I can’t believe we allowed the Clinton crime machine to put us in this position. The day is coming and I can wait to see the evil crushed and hopefully exposed. FU Hillary. FU Hillary. FU Hillary.
