The country that brought Wuhan Virus into the world is now threatening us with it. It’s time to reverse the leftist sellout of America that has put Beijing in charge of our drug supply chain.
China's Xinhua News just posted a piece titled "Be bold: the world owes China a thank you", which says if China imposes restrictions on pharmaceutical exports, US will be "plunged into the mighty sea of coronavirus". https://t.co/us3QJB7kIa

China Threatens to Throw America ‘Into the Mighty Sea of the Coronavirus.’
China is threatening to wreak havoc on America’s drug supply amid the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak. Thanks to our globalist elite and especially missteps during the Obama-Biden administration, Beijing has the power to do just that.
By Christian Whiton, National Interest
China is threatening to wreak havoc on America’s drug supply amid the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak. Thanks to our globalist elite and especially missteps during the Obama-Biden administration, Beijing has the power to do just that.
In an article in Xinhua, one of the Chinese Communist Party’s mouthpieces, Beijing threatened that it can impose pharmaceutical export controls after which America will be “plunged into the mighty sea of coronavirus.”
Unfortunately, Beijing isn’t bluffing about this capability.
As Rosemary Gibson, co-author of “China Rx: Exposing the Risks of America’s Dependence on China for Medicine,” testified to a congressional commission last summer, China has a dominant role in the manufacture of the generic drugs that comprise 90 percent of what Americans take.
The critical vulnerability isn’t just in finished drugs, but what are called active pharmaceutical ingredients, some 80 percent of which America now imports. Most of these come from Red China.
Even finished drugs from other sources are dependent on China. Another major source of generic drugs is India, and 80 percent of that country’s drug ingredients come from China.
There are many culprits behind this betrayal, but some deserve special mention.
Foremost is the globalist cabal that exported our industries to China in the name of “free trade.” As Gibson also reports, within four years of passage of the Clinton-era law giving China unfettered access to U.S. markets and WTO membership, “the last penicillin fermentation plant in the U.S. closed; China’s vitamin C cartel forced the closure of the last U.S. production facility, and the last aspirin manufacturing facility ceased business because of predatory pricing by Chinese firms.”
The Chinese government has used its favorite playbook to make the world dependent on its drugs: protecting and subsidizing domestic manufacturers to undersell American competitors, aided by Chinese industrial espionage. Indeed, biotechnology is one of ten categories of Beijing’s “Made in China 2025” industrial strategy which has driven so much of its theft of intellectual property and dumping of goods at below-market prices to kill U.S. businesses.
Among the globalists, the former Obama-Biden administration is particularly culpable for putting America at risk. During the eight years of that administration, then-Vice President Biden was often the frontman for responding to the increasing number of foreign outbreaks to which America has been exposed.
During the H1N1 (swine flu) pandemic in 2009, Biden incorrectly addressed the public about the outbreak, “I would tell members of my family, and I have, I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places right now… It’s that you are in a confined aircraft. When one person sneezes, it goes everywhere through the aircraft.”
Speaking about the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak, Biden recently said, “I was part of making sure that pandemic did not get to the United States, saved millions of lives.” In fact, the Obama administration admitted people known to have the disease to America.
Are we to believe that amid all of this attention to outbreak that Biden and his globalist colleagues didn’t know of America’s growing inability to make even the most basic pharmaceuticals? Throughout the Obama-Biden administration, our dependence on China got much worse.
Last month, Biden criticized the Trump administration’s response to Wuhan coronavirus. Initially, he slammed the president’s unprecedented decision to stop flights from China: “This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia–hysterical xenophobia–and fearmongering.”
Later he flip-flopped to accusing Trump of not doing enough, imagining if he were president that, “I would be on the phone with China making it clear we are going to need to be in your country. You have to be open. You have to be clear. We have to know what’s going on.”
Of course, Beijing’s unwillingness to allow anything of the sort is a reason their coronavirus has spread far and wide. Oddly, Biden and his fellow globalists remain sanguine about China and their ability to influence its communist government. Last year, he said of China, “they’re not bad folks,” and “they’re not competition for us.”
Of course Biden was not alone, and neither were the Democrats. The House of Bush was always fond of the myth that economic engagement of China, evidently on terms favorable to Beijing, would turn an adversary into an ally. The myth lives on. Bob Zoellick, who was George W. Bush’s trade kingpin, has been an outspoken opponent of Trump’s effort to end U.S. dependence on China, lamely claiming, “You can’t contain China.”
To fix this medical vulnerability, Trump should apply gradually increasing, permanent tariffs on Chinese drugs and ingredients. He should also establish a strategic reserve of drugs by requiring the Defense Department and Veterans Affairs to buy only drugs that are 100 percent made in America. This domestic demand would create domestic supply.
Trump should also press drug companies to start a crash program to achieve supply chain independence from China. If would be great if he could achieve this through an appeal to patriotism. If not, he should use the Defense Production Act of 1950 to force the issue.
It’s time to reverse the globalist sellout of America that has put Beijing in charge of our drug supply chain.

That is a critical problem with the globalist just in time supply chain. China’s goal is to take over countries without going to war with them. Take a look at the one belt and one road and you can see how the virus has spread.
China is now trying to sell the idea that the U.S. gave them the virus. Eye roll. Doing business with China is lethal. The EU and possibly the UK going along with China’s 5G technology is suicidal. They are notorious for spying and not being trustworthy. Will country “social credits” be next? They use that on their citizens, why not other countries when they have the reins of the 5G network. You can program in back door control…

There is no irony; President Trump foresaw China for what it is, a hardcore enemy of this Republic and the West’s faux-democracies. Reiterating IndingoRed, China has picked the wrong presidency to threaten Americans’ health system during this Covid-19 pandemic.
There is more to this viral outbreak than what told. Nothing would surprise me, or many others, that China’s intent in its account of the Covid-19 outbreak is askew, far from righteous, a complete fabrication.

Every consumer product in the U.S. market comes from China, except for fake news which is produced in the U.S. If as per your bravado, the U.S. stops total imports of Chinese products, you Americans will be left without all your valuable toys such as smartphones, TVs and tablets in addition to first-necessity items such as most of the food you eat, medical supplies, clothing and shoes, furniture, office supplies, construction supplies and basically 99 % of everything you have in the shelves of your supermarkets and general-consumer stores.
It sounds very patriotic to do what you say. It’s also sheer nonsense. The U.S. delivered all its industrial production to China years ago, to the extent that today you are completely dependent on China delivering goods to your markets. Stop all imports from China, as you suggest. Not even Amazon will save you, since all their warehouses will be empty of the things you like buying so much.

Indeed, the Chinese people are to be pitied. The citizens live in fear, from one fear to another fear. My son and his family live in mainland China and I have many friends who live in Hong Kong and on the mainland. Communism has stunted the minds and character of the Chinese people, in so many ways they are like children.
The fact is the Chinese unleashed this virus on the world due to the sloppy practices in the Wuhan chemical lab. And it was Xping/Xi who would not allow our scientists into China to help with the situation, which is glaring proof of how little the Chinese rulers care about the citizenry.
