China hints at denying America drugs
Fox News ^ | 3/13/2020 | Barnini Chakraborty | Fox News

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."

Trump can use EOs.

Congress can write legislation.

And if Fedzilla refuses to get off the pot, the American public can boycott Chinese products.

That last one we can do immediately. And, properly organized, can deliver a world of hurt to the ChiComs.

Sure it is, just like steel...

Did they release this on themselves, knowing they could contain it and work through it, while we would would be greatly weakened?

I saw the problem with medical supplies 13 years ago as a student nurse......So who was President And VP 13 years and why didn’t those losers do something. Joe Biden has been in gov, for 40+ years and has Done ZERO the whole time. Trump is in for three years, Has had to fight Dems and Repubs for EVERYTHING and has accomplished more by himself than any other president in history. Get a grip.

No the Chinese media, supports the Chinese government.

America’s media supports the LEFT.

For real.

Outsourcing jobs, manufacturing overseas, they all do it and none of it is illegal. And there's nothing the government can do about it.

You contradict yourself - what the government can do about it is make those things illegal (or legally restricted).

OK. Maybe they’re just posturing for the sake of their rank-and-file “constituency,” so they’ll be awed into submission, or the Hong Kong insurgents, so they’ll stop resisting. But f@#$ this sh!t. The US does the bullying, not the other way around.

“Lower labor, lower tax, lower regulatory. Lower everything.
But that can be addressed.”

It can’t be addresses with demonrats in charge of anything. The RATS are most of the reason the jobs left to start with. Rules and regulations in a demonrat world make it impossible to make things here.

No, not really. He just knows that the cihcoms can’t be trusted and have always remained our enemy. He is just the only politician in our time to admit and act on the facts. We finally had a man to elect that thinks what many of us have been thinking for a long time and has the ability to act on it.

How could they have legally prevented it? Corporations in the U.S. are going to cut costs in every way they can regardless of the risk to the U.S. Outsourcing jobs, manufacturing overseas, they all do it and none of it is illegal. And there's nothing the government can do about it.

There's PLENTY that the feds could have done about it, if they wanted to, particularly in the area of pharmaceuticals: tariffs, stringent FDA monitoring of imported meds (with the cost billed to the importer) -- there would have been LOTS of ways to erase any cost saving from importing meds.

Real free trade means both sides do the right thing...

It’s never a good thing to give someone else the ability to determine whether we live or die. Letting someone else have control our food supply or drug supply is absolutely stupid.

OTOH, maybe the posturing is for the sake of the leftards and MSM, to accuse Trump of endangering the country if he riles the Chicoms, because they’ll stop helping with the Corona virus, and then what’ll you do. Put America first, Trump. Grovel before our new master and he’ll toss us some drugs. THAT seems most likely!

But they’re f@#$ing with the wrong POTUS.

"The grand gesture, he doesn’t do specifics."

It's my opinion that he's tried his ass off.. But every time he made a move the dimocraps (commies) would find a progressive (commie) judge to stop him... Let's just pray he doesn't get discouraged and just stops trying..
