Time to order Chinese companies to sell their US assets, like Smithfield. Time to repay Chinese holdings of US Treasuries with their Chinese Rail Bonds from about a 100 years ago.

Wonder if we can banned all Chinese products.

No other option but to disconnect our economy from the chicoms and seize as many assets as possible to compensate for the virus

Don’t worry, China.
Kodak Pharmaceuticals will pick up where you leave off.

For vitamins and antibiotics, more than 90% of their raw materials are produced in China...The U.S. will definitely not be able to produce them in the short term. Sounds like a challenge to me. And a lot of jobs.

“China may restrict American access to medical supplies”
The U.S. will definitely not be able to produce them in the short term.
That would naturally result in a crash effort to build production capacity in the USA, greatly speeding the decoupling process, and leave China taking all the blame for it.
They would both lose their biggest customer, and create huge new competitors.
Bravo!
It really highlights why we can not be dependent on any supply chain from a communist country.

Don't forget, Trump partnered with Kodak to kick off the Medical Manhattan Project.
That was, what, a month ago?
Kodak's not bad as far as businesses go, I suspect they could ramp up all the way in 1-2 months, having had a month already...

I worked at Kodak, only as a summer kid (while I was in college) but from what I saw of the place, it could easily crash-start production, and ramp up VERY quickly to full replacement.
Don’t forget, these guys were one of the major suppliers of all kinds of manufacturing chemicals in the last 2-3 decades. The lines are already in place.

It will take time, because the logistics have been 30 years in the making, but those of us in our 50s and above can remember when we got nothing from the "People's Republic" except black market fireworks.
In the '60s, Japan made our cheap stuff. "Made in Japan" was a bit of a joke. In the '70s and past, Japan became a quality importer, joining Germany in both cars and electronics. Hong Kong (then under U.K. protection) and Taiwan (R.O.C.) were for cheap electronics. Brazil and S. Korea were for cheap shoes. Baseballs were made in Haiti. Latin America for cheap textiles. Pharmaceuticals were made in the U.S. including Puerto Rico.
Only in the '90s with MFN/Normal trade status and WTO membership did Red China take over.
We can dial it back through law or tariffs (knowing full well that bad actors in Europe and elsewhere will move product around to obscure ultimate origin), and we'd be no worse off than in the '80s.

Somewhere in Trump’s instinct a little voice is saying “Bring it!”

Go for it buddy
Well see who needs who
Food wise
Tech wise
China and their communist overlords in particular are world wide pariahs right now
Who on this great green planet earth has not been adversely affected by that stupid virus that they leased upon the world deliberately?
They have severe severe internal problems happening right now with the floods with it calling at 350 million pigs out of the food supply because of the virus the pig virus so we shall see what happens with the communist dictators
I thought it was a stroke of genius to have that blind oppressed gentleman from China get up and eloquently state his speech using braille
He called the Chinese communist party what they are: an enemy of humanity

I still have some old “Made in Japan” stuff. Probably from the time when the Japanese had embraced Juran and Demmings.
Stuff’s still GREAT!
