Why do we let China have anything to do with our FOOD and DRUGS?

"“Food security is our national security. Any nation that’s not food secure is only three meals from chaos. And I think Xi Jinping knows that very well,” says Kip Tom, a 7th generation farmer in Indiana and a former U.S. ambassador to the U.N. agencies for food and agriculture."

Amazing isn't it? Lets allow sales of farm land near Military installations too.

There are hundreds of critical items sourced purely from China. I thought the pandemic may have taught us something, but unfortunately no one cares.

I've been angry about this for years. A good U.S. government should ban the importation of anything edible by man or beast from the Chicoms. Remember the intentional pet food melamine contamination to falsely boost the nutritional values? How about the recall of the widely prescribed blood pressure medication Valsartin as once it went generic and the Chinese cut corners on formulating and producing it leaving a cancer causing compound in it? We so need to step up and embrace making it here.

And bibles too.

Someone at least tried. But he is the boogeyman.

The pandemic taught AMERICA nothing…sickening to be honest.

I have great fear for my children’s future and safety.

No you are incorrect.

It taught some people, well rather proved to them, we can be cowered into any fetal position they want.

But at least someone is getting filthy rich.

We had garlic showing up from China and of course smoked oysters which was especially troubling.

Exactly. For many of us this will never happen again.

This is what happens when there is capitalism but no moral restraints is place.

It’s just business is what is usually said in these situations. But that is meant as a moral get out of jail free card to justify potentially harming others for one’s own gain.

Just because it isn’t illegal (ie, the govt intervenes to stop it) doesn’t mean it is moral.

You all do know who owns The Epoch Times? It can't be considered an impartial source about anything, especially China.

So prove the article wrong?

How about NBC? But you won't see anything from them post 2019 https://www.nbcnews.com/health/heal...chinese-control-american-drug-supply-n1052376

How about Bloomberg and a couple senators from different sides of the isle? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-reliance-on-cheap-foreign-drugs-senators-say

Attack the source. Are they wrong?

When I saw garlic at Trader Joe’s from China, that kinda scared me. I thought Gilroy, California was the garlic capital of the world?

There is a show(?)/you tube on the whole Chinese garlic connection. Fascinating. BTW Chinese garlic is terrible, and their fake pine nuts are toxic.

Capitalism. USA encouraged companies to outsource and move oversea; specifically to China, claiming how cheap labor and outsourcing will help make consumer goods cheap. Don't think that aged well.
