by Christian Whiton 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.
During the Zika virus outbreak, Biden was in charge of pressuring Congress for funds.
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.

为了解决这一医疗脆弱性，特朗普应对中国药品和原料实施逐步提高的永久性关税。他还应该通过要求国防部和退伍军人事务部仅购买100%由美国制造的药物来建立战略性的药物储备。这种国内需求将创造国内供应。
特朗普还应敦促制药公司启动一项紧急计划，以实现从中国供应链中独立。如果他能通过诉诸爱国主义来实现这一目标，那将是多么伟大。如果不行的话，他应该使用《 1950年国防生产法》来强行解决这个问题。

美国同意豁免中国制百余项医疗用品关税

【大纪元2020年03月07日讯】美国同意豁免中国100多项医疗用品的惩罚性关税，包括口罩。
《华尔街日报》3月6日报导，美国川普（特朗普）政府已同意豁免美国27家公司，自中国进口的100多项医疗用品（包括口罩、手套和消毒湿巾等）的惩罚性关税。
位于伊利诺伊州诺斯菲尔德的Medline公司在1月31日截止期限前，提出豁免关税申请时说：“目前，严重短缺的口罩，可能会在全球范围内产生影响。” “Medline正在加快增加产能，以确保公共安全和健康，我们必须继续扩大所有可能的供应商（中国或其它地区的供应商）的最大化产能。”该公司在申请书上写道。
短期先应付过去 长期坚决撤资
就像有的经济学家说的，都得病，死一批就好了。
普通人，对他们来讲，就是一个数字。
短期紧急情况买，长期关。不矛盾。就是因为短期阵痛，长期才能准备。
真这样发展了，大家 buckle up吧，the worst time is coming
globalization就是美国衰弱的最大原因。 希望美国两党都能吸取教训，别再为了资本家的利益把自己的家乡都卖干净了。
另外，这报道不是纽约时报的
中国，甚至整个东亚都是资源极度缺乏的国家，需要用出口换资源。 真的各国闭关锁国起来，倒霉的是谁？ 美国大不了自己用的东西自己做，粮食能源全都自产自销。 中国呢？
在外宣的不断渲染之下，大家对中美脱钩之后的worse case有了一定的了解，不是坏事
这些跨国资本家是globalization最大的得益者，受损失是美国中下的工薪阶层
其实中国产医疗设备原料出问题很长时间了，60 minutes 也讨论过这个话题。
好多标注美国产的其实原材料是中国。大家为了节约成本这么干。
希望以后医疗原料和设备这些可以更规范起来。
nyt和中共有梁子。。
明白人啊。有人真是太无语了。
这个贴大部分人，智商和分析能力连你二分之一，都没有。美国，现在之所以是这局面，和民众平均认知息息相关。
当cdc说口罩无用论的时候，居然信了，居然都信了。
不可思议。
这个球表面居住的所谓高等生物，太不可思议。
难怪人类可考的历史只有不到5万年。突然明白了。
这个帖子，还有整个华人，也只有你们这群大外宣，惺惺相惜，互相称赞着对方的智商，抱着满怀的口罩取暖了。。。
弯弯就是弯弯。无脑智障。
别人说点什么就是大外宣。
大外宣是你祖宗，
你天天念着。
你凭什么不让人别人说话。和你不一样，就是什么宣。
你赶紧给你的嘴消消毒。坚持24小时消毒不要停。以免祸害其它人。
