“How can the US respond?”
Revoke MFN status.
Boot them from the WTO.
Revoke Chinese visas wholesale.

The question that occurs to me in this context is, “How dependent are we on CHina for PPE?” If we are TOTALLY dependent on them WE have a problem. It’s like when you owe the bank a $Million you have a problem, when you owe the bank a $Billion the bank has a problem. If they are gouging the hell out of us on PPE that we HAVE to have to stop the spread what can we do?

Easy , now we just have to get big business out of the way, ie make them understand something needs to be done, any weakness at this time will do nothing but kick us in the teeth later.
Great start! Now refuse Chink manufactured products and products that include Chink manufactured parts, into this great country!
Let the caterwauling begin.

Add “Arm their dissidents”. Oh, wait...do they even have any?
