China’s CCP media mouthpiece, Xinhua News, has published a new article titled “Be bold: the world owes China a thank you.”
In it, the author suggests that the coronavirus outbreak is much worse in the United States than authorities are letting on - while noting that President Trump praised China’s measures to control the outbreak during a recent press conference. Xinhua also points out that the US stock market “has plummeted continuously, with a drop of more than 12% in just one week.”
The article then suggests the travel ban imposed on China - including the restriction of people who have visited China - was ‘unkind,’ and has had a ‘great economic impact’ on the country.
US government officials, such as Secretary of Commerce Rose, US Secretary of State Pompeo, and US White House Economic Adviser Navarro, have publicly gloated over China’s new crown pneumonia epidemic, saying that the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in China is good for the United States and will help companies return to the United States.
It also called on companies around the world to consider the risks of China’s supply chain. Even the infamous “Wall Street Journal” published an infamous article “China is a real patient in Asia”, and the “New York Times” in the United States also published a document condemning the closure of Wuhan in China as a violation of human rights. The American culture of falling rocks is really shameless. Today, Feng Shui is taking turns, and the United States has become a victim of the new crown pneumonia epidemic. At this time, China has not fallen into rocks and has not condemned the United States. At this time, the United States should recognize its mistakes. Apologize to China for your actions. -Xinhua (translated)
The punchline? If China retaliates against the United States at this time, including a travel ban or a strategic restriction over medical exports, America would be “plunged into the mighty sea of coronavirus.”
Xinhua notes that “most of the drugs in the United States are imported,” and that “most masks in the United States are made in China and imported from China,” an that if restricted, the US won’t be able to take “the most basic measures to prevent the new coronavirus.”
Indeed (via F. William Engdahl of New Eastern Outlook):
80% of present medicines consumed in the United States are produced in China. This includes Chinese companies and foreign drug companies that have outsourced their drug manufacture in joint ventures with Chinese partners. According to Rosemary Gibson of the Hastings Center bioethics research institute, who authored a book in 2018 on the theme, the dependency is more than alarming.
Gibson cites medical newsletters giving the estimate that today some 80% of all pharmaceutical active ingredients in the USA are made in China.
“It’s not just the ingredients. It’s also the chemical precursors, the chemical building blocks used to make the active ingredients. We are dependent on China for the chemical building blocks to make a whole category of antibiotics… known as cephalosporins. They are used in the United States thousands of times every day for people with very serious infections.”
The made in China drugs today include most antibiotics, birth control pills, blood pressure medicines such as valsartan, blood thinners such as heparin, and various cancer drugs. It includes such common medicines as penicillin, ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), and aspirin. The list also includes medications to treat HIV, Alzheimer’s disease, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, cancer, depression, epilepsy, among others. A recent Department of Commerce study found that 97 percent of all antibiotics in the United States came from China.

Should pharma companies be required to disclose the country of origin of their medicine - including ingredients?

Still, Xinhua suggests in their ‘blackmail’ article that there is “great love in the world,” and that they would never do such a thing. As their own coronavirus infections are gradually controlled, “China’s ability to export masks and medicines will be greatly enhanced.”

Who wrote this? The chi-coms?
Propaganda piece. Shows Chinese superiority, and lack of common knowledge of the average American.
We do need to do more in the U.S. The U.S. is too dependent upon China for too many things.
Obama regulated our companies out of existence and chased them overseas. Of course, Big Pharma greed did play some role in their move to China.
Trump will get U.S. companies back within our borders, and we have good alternatives to cheap Chinese labor.
Gerry where you get your BS information God only knows. Companies started moving over to China under Reagen not because of Obama, try to get over your hang up with Obama it’s got you totally confused mentally you can’t even think straight anymore. Big pharma has been a huge problem in this country for many decades, and you’ll never see any RETARDican stand up to them because of campaign cash, remember Bush’s citizens united protect big pharma, oil, corporate America, must protect the big money donors to your campaign always. Trumpzilla has not or never will have companies moving back to America even after his free money give away and lower taxes, why should they when RETARDicans already don’t make them pay taxes, just look at amozon 0 taxes paid and yet they still get refunds how’s that work, it’s called right wing socialism that’s how. And as for labor how do you expect to get labor any cheaper than it already is, wages have not gone up since Reagen. Unless you want to do just like Reagen did in the 1980’s let more Mexicans in to help drop wages even more. Trumpzilla is a disaster to America all RETARDicans are enemy’s to America and nothing will ever get better unless we vote out all RETARDicans and put in people that want to help American workers not just the filthy rich campaign donors that help keep them in cotrol.
Where do you get your stupid ass lnformation.. typical libtard. Always blaming someone else..Obsma was disaster and you all know it. Just to chicken shit to admit it
Bitter much? Your childish rant shows how little you truly know. Get back to class junior!
SOROS and China purposely infecting people.
Purposely? Why?
Makes me wonder how many of the cases here came from those medicines, handled by infected workers? We need to get off of the dependency on China, for many reasons.
Some of our officials actually did make those shockingly inhumane comments on how we could capitalize on China’s woes. Shameful and heartless. There is no reason in the world why China would purposely unleash this virus and bring such destruction on their own country. I personally would not rule covert bio weapon used by someone with world domination intent or somehow able to benefit financially or in consolidation of power by causing chaos and financial disruption, but last on my list of suspects would be China. It is likely it simply got loose from a lab unintentionally. Yes, a propaganda piece and I hate communism, but I have nothing but love and admiration for the Chinese and how they have faced this thing really heroically.
THIS VIRUS IS A BIOLOGICAL WEAPON HAS INFECTED 95,000.00 PEOPLE GLOBALLY. CHINA IS LYING ABOUT THE DEATH RATE ITS HIGHER THAN 3,000.00 INFECTION RATE IN AMERICA IS ALSO HIGHER 7,000.00 TRUE COUNT. AMERICANS HAVE BEEN CONSUMING POISON FROM CHINA FOR YEARS TAINTED FOOD AND DEADLY MEDICINE. THIS WEAPONIZED VIRUS WAS UNLEASHED TO CAUSE MASSIVE DEATH LARGE INFECTION AND TO CREATE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CHAOS. THIS BIOLOGICAL WEAPON WAS UNLEASHED ON DECEMBER 8. 2019 INSIDE WUHAN P4-LAB THE COMMUNIST CHINESE HAVE BEEN SUPPRESSING THE TRUTH FROM THE START.
You are dead on, sir. The ChiComs hate our guts. This is one of the weapons they have unleashed against our country. They couldn’t care less what their own death rate is if they can accomplish their goal of destroying the United States and the world economy.
Wow, Larry! What conspiracy channels do you listen to? Better be careful. They’re coming for you.
How would you know this?
China’s CCP media mouthpiece, Xinhua News sounds like a ”Never Trump” Democommie talking……………….” If only we could get the Chinese to stop eating rats, bats and snakes……..it
might be better for the world. Might not hurt if they did a better job od containing their chemical weapons…………….unless, of course it was a deliberate release.
Could be they think it is a good alternative to the one child policy to lower population. Our Communists prefer abortion.
Sounds like it’s wake-up time for USA based pharmaceutical companies to gear up their own production!!!
How do I unsubscribe?
Just food for thought, I think it’s time to repeal the 17th amendment and teach the American people why its important for the states to select their own senators
If one does business with the devil, you get the devil back. What goes around comes back around. Had no idea that the cancer called “made in china” spread to the point of being terminal. China could poison the entire USA population with tainted pharmaceuticals, and executives in industry and government DON”T CARE! Another reason for higher federal income tax rates on the wealthy decision makers…the decision makers need to pay for the damage they have wrought on US citizens by their decisions. Mr. Trump needs to slap an immediate ban on all medical products made in china….
One of the most deceptive articles written - ever!!!!
To really make America great again , we need to get the UN and CHINA out of AMERICA !!!!!!!! National security depends on it because if you think for one second that the people responsible for all the outscourcing will be allowed to live if they ever take over; you are sadly mistaken !!!!
Americans are more resilient than the China thinks. We have been knocked down and knocked around before. We do not need them. Build your own mask make your own supplies. IMPORTS! Hogwash!
You are a jerk…
Who do You insult, Hopes its me
Trumps going to jail NOT.
Croke the Bat shit eating chinks, and all of Wally World BS. Screw Em
Found out Friday that store branded Equate medicines, etc. sold at Walmart are made in communist china. Do business with the devil, one gets the devil right back. The containers may be contaminated; the bottles may be contaminated; it wouldn’t take much for those making the stuff could substitute poison by government order and US customs is too stupid to stop the crap at the border. Mr. Trump needs to ban all chinese made medicines immediately. Support the import duties. We will know when import duties on low wage country crap are high enough that one has to ASK for it at the stores rather than have the crap forced on unwary consumers by wealthy executives. Mr. Trump needs to executive order 100% country of origin labeling on all imported products at the computer package level with 10 point bold type.
