    I read somewhere in the last week that we are almost 100% dependent on China for our antibiotics. If we couldn't get antibiotics, the death toll would make Coronavirus look like hay fever.

    It would be rational for corporations to diversify manufacturing across several countries, if not bring capabilities for complete self-sufficiency back within our borders.

    In 2007, China sickening and killed a lot of our cats and dogs by knowingly substituting melamine in a product which was used by practically every pet food manufacturer here. You think they value us humans any more than they value our pets?

    What part of the trade discussions are referring to ? - as most of these trade issues have nothing to do with the systemic issues that led to outsourcing of our manufacturing base.

    I am not interested in complaints from the left.

    Yup - It is a sad state of affairs that we are in. Instead of doing what was best for the country - Elite Politicians and Bureaucrats did what was what the Oligopolies wanted them to do - over a long period of time.

    You don't know it's a conspiracy. What was the last bioweapon that didn't escape from the development labs?

    You have been misinformed. Our corrupt bipartisan political class always has its hands out for pay-offs.

    "As they set about searching for deals, Hunter and Archer were eager to land business in China.

    In late 2013, Hunter traveled with his father to Beijing, where the vice president was set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

    While there, Hunter introduced one of his business partners, Jonathan Li of the Beijing-based private equity firm Bohai Capital, to his father, according to The New Yorker. Hunter and Archer had just concluded a large real estate deal with Bohai. In May of 2019, The Intercept reported that Hunter’s Chinese investment vehicle, Bohai Harvest RST, was invested in a firm that developed facial-recognition technology used in Chinese state-backed surveillance efforts."

    go read up on definition of conspiracy, heck china claim we send them the germ cause we got an army germ lab shut down in late aug 2019, then accidentally pass to wuhan during wuhan international military game when some the US solider was infected during the event, no kidding go search it up. They even have some photo claim some US solider went to seafood/wet market in wuhan late oct, which eventually spread in the market due to high pop density. like i said conspiracy.

    We live in a society where freedom and a healthy respect for personal liberty has afforded very undeserving people to take full advantage of the system.
    To the point that their liberty to support hostile entities is finally endangering the society that granted them those freedoms and privileges in the first place.

    Yeah, I'm talking about Democrats.

    Interesting rant. How does it relate to something from my post?

    Again: "Our corrupt bipartisan political class always has its hands out for pay-offs."
    Do you have any information that contradicts that no well documented fact?

    Another unresponsive reply.

    This is what I posted: "The CCP has been bribing our officials for decades." Are you actually denying that well documented fact?

    Your debating with yourself: "our politician got bribe by china and ask US corporation to move manufacture to china" s002wjh

    Paste up something from my post, as opposed to something from your imagination, that you disagree with.

    Again this is what I posted:
    "Our corrupt bipartisan political class always has its hands out for pay-offs."
    So, do you really want to challenge that well documented fact? Well, do ya?
    Or not? ;-)
