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."

Bloomberg got rich, but. It a personality, selling us out and would only outsource more if elected. His media ALL back the red Chinese.

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.

[Old Yeller]

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.

[a little elbow grease]

lol

I thought most drugs came from India and Malaysia.

[Haiku Guy]

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?!?

[Chgogal]

Well, time to bring back manufacturing to the US.

reap the whirlwind

“Nixon started this by giving the ChiComs help to survive rather than continue to collapse in on themselves.”

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

[Sun]

As former Congressman Bob Dornan put it:

“Free trade for FREE COUNTRIES.”

[BradyLS]

That’s okay. Mexico can supply us with all the drugs we could ever want.

[Trump Girl Kit Cat]

I believe India can also produce the drugs if needed !!

[BradyLS]

Price war! :-D

[ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas]

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

[Vaden]

?

If you have a meaning, do share it.

[BobL]

That was what my last statement in my post was referring to...people THINK it’s all USA, rah, rah, rah...but China has their sticky fingers all over everything.

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.
