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."

But the mockingbirds will lamely attempt to spin it as somehow being President Trump's fault for trying to correct it.

And the really heartbreaking thing is that roughly 60 to 100 million Americans will buy into that lie hook, line and sinker.

He’s been fighting a coup attempt for three years and impeachment for one year! Judges turn everything over and Dems in Congress block everything. If he hasnt gotten those things done it’s because of the demoncrats who are all bought and paid for by the chicomms. THEY are our enemies, not Trump!

Obviously, these Chinese don’t understand the free market. Even if we start dying from a lack of medicine, they are just hurting their own economy in the long run. Yes, that’s sarcasm.

And that’s just a start.

Medical equipment.

Food supply.

Critical infrastructure.

Take away structural advantages we’ve given China over US manufacturers—such as cheaper shipping from China than domestically.

Or taxed. Instead we’ve put costs on local manufacturers than China doesn’t have.

Gee, maybe Trump will be heard on a hot mic saying “tell Xi Jinping I’ll have more flexibility after the election”. Not!

"So far we haven’t gotten infuriated enough to demand justice for all the treason perpetrated by the RAT party." "We wait and twiddle our thumbs and demand one man do something."

You have a good point...

The drug companies know there are lots of people like you, that’s why they had Congress allow them to hide their country of origin.

The US does the bullying, not the other way around.

That's how it was before the corporate globalists sold us out. Conservatives should presume, absent specific evidence to the contrary, that any given C-suite dweller is an enemy of America.

After this is all over, Trump needs to force US multinational companies and others out of China by raising import taxes from there to 200% and let there parasitic economy implode.Throw their kids out of US universities too. They are a cancer to the rest of the world.

“How many parts of our defense products are built by China?”

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

So don’t start misleading people here!

(of course the components, like electronic parts and fasteners, and the raw materials to make military hardware...who knows where that come from - but one guess as to who’s a big supplier!)
