For 30 years, politicians in BOTH parties have been selling us out.

Remember this, and we NEED to wean ourselves off off China.

Completely.

Now.

The man is brilliant and has a great deal of foresight.

He understands human nature as few do and can act to counter it before his enemies know he’s already inside their heads.

Previous administrations allowed China to have this leverage over US by allowing American drug manufactures produce the drugs there. Lower labor costs.

Time for that Marshall Plan to build, rebuild, retool and get Big Pharma production back on American soil...

Yup, people are waking up to the fact that manufacturing capability is a national security issue.

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

Ok Congress, here’s a law I can at least stomach if not exactly like: If you want to sell drugs in the USA, you have to produce a minimum of 50% of the stock within the territories of the United States.

It should also define a surge capacity to 75% for a minimum of 180 days.

In an article in Xinhua, the state-run media agency that’s largely considered the mouthpiece of the party...

The Chinese media is just like our own.

The criminals in Congress owe the American People
REPARATIONS for destroying vaccines and drugs
made in the USA,
AS THEY PROFITTED FROM MOVING THIS ALL TO CHINA.

When will Congress be EXPOSED for their kickbacks
and violations of LAWS they made for others.

China could impose pharmaceutical export controls which would plunge America into "the mighty sea of coronavirus."

Oh no. That mean Trump would maybe have to either up the living hell on their tarriffs, or just shut down 100% of all imports from China until we can verify that THEIR virus is safely contained here! F China and F walmart! I can live without their crap.

The article also claimed that China could impose pharmaceutical export controls which would plunge America into "the mighty sea of coronavirus."

Incorrect. It would plunge us into "the mighty sea of self-sufficiency."

China teeters on the verge of revolution at anytime. Crash the economy by abruptly stopping exports to US and revolution will be certain.

Never should have been buying them from there in the first place.

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

All the more reason to redouble efforts to rebuild a domestic supply chain for the critical elements in stocking our pharmaceutical businesses. Apparently the nation is quite good at ramping up domestic sources of COVID-19 testing supplies and face masks, which only a few days ago were in critically short supply.

Now let us get started on reagents, biologicals, and treatment protocols to underscore our industrial capacity and determination to attain self-sufficiency in these very vital supplies.

All those high prescription prices you have been paying should be buying SOMETHING more than satisfaction that we have the priciest medical delivery costs in the world.

Remember, globalism and free trade are the way forward. Protectionism and nationalism are vile concepts when practiced by Americans, for every other nation they are fine.
