A certain % of all critical medical PPE needs to be manufactured here. If we desperately need it, chances are that the rest of the world needs it too.

I am glad China and India are playing this game... Good luck employing your population shoveling shite when this is all over...

Trump should EO and stop to all visas for both countries immediately and halt all movement from both as well.

Everything needs to be made here. The Chinese have sent us toxic drywall, poisoned dog food, children's toys that cause lead poisoning among other things.

Months ago I posted on such topics saying we needed an Anglosphere based free trade system where the US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the UK had a trade block that excluded the third world.

..that I would consider expanding that to the EU, Eastern Europe, and Russia.

Sounds like that was a good idea, huh.

It's not an act of war it's good for their country we would do the same. These corporation selling out the US is the issue refusing to make anything here and in a moment of crisis we have to beg for our own shite. shite that was funded and paid for by us tax payers.

The President should get on the phone and tell them all trade to India will be halted and US businesses will be barred from doing business there. Then all diplomatic relations will be severed.

Is there a reason we would be a major manufacturer or a malaria drug?

Why don't you try to build a plant and make it here in the USA? Let us know how that goes for you and then report back your experience.

People scoffed at trump and said he was just making excuses for tariffs when he said steel manufacturing was a national security issue. Now that critical parts of our supply chains are tied up in other countries and we are on our knees, it seems quite obvious he was right.

Ideally that would be great but then there is capitalism and companies will do anything to make more profit ,therefore china will keep producing things because of the cheap labor and materials

I hope you’re right

Quote from the article

The active chemical compound needed to make the drug is also mainly supplied through Indian channels and is now banned for export too, potentially complicating efforts like Mylan’s.

If capitalism is a suicide pact that relies on cheap third world labor to reap windfall profits for the c-suites of MNCs, then let's give national socialism a try.

Refusing to allow life saving medicine in an effort to hoard the supply is most definitely an act of war.

If we don’t have the ability to readily refurbish and make disaster supplies a la PPE and medications then we have problems.

The PPE seemingly hasn’t been able to be done with any sort of urgency as we are just trying to throw cash at the problem. I assume medications are the same way but I’ll be happy if notZ

I going to refrain from throwing my iPad across the fricking room. Every time I see some Swamp Dweller talk about how did the US allow this idiotic offshoring of US manufacturing/industrial might to China I want to scream like I have for over 25 years over this BS!!!!

The market easily remedies this problem. Not sure what the issue is here?

Plus a pandemic of TDS for 4 years. Think of all the new manufacturing jobs this pandemic is creating after this ends. We are watching globalism destroy itself before our very eyes!
