Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., on Thursday blasted China's monopoly on key pharmaceutical ingredients as the United States continues to grapple with the coronavirus pandemic.
In a video posted to her Twitter account, Blackburn called China's threats to plunge the U.S. into a "mighty sea of coronavirus" by withholding access to critical medication a national security and public health issue.
"Relying on foreign countries like China for instance, for our pharmaceutical supply chain can lead us to critical shortages," she said.

“mighty sea of coronavirus” Whose words are those?

An article in Xinhua, the state-run media agency...
“If China retaliates against the United States at this time, in addition to announcing a travel ban on the United States, it will also announce strategic control over medical products and ban exports to the United States. Then the United States will be caught in the ocean of new coronaviruses,” the article said.
I wonder what this country will be like in the years in the future. I really wonder.
This crisis is pretty much proving Trump correct on every issue he ran on.
Absolutely. And there is a fair chance it occurred because certain actos were afraid he was on route to another four years—and realizing the full agenda he ran on.
Not if someone nukes their nukes first.
Just sayin’.
Thanks a little elbow grease.
Could you explain this term to me? It's a new one I haven't heard before.
Thanks, Wai-ming
The goal is to take over that industry. Corner that market. Then when a country has lost their industrial base in the field, the Chinese start raising prices and putting the screws to people who don't dance to their tune.
That's what's happening now.
These are the same techniques used during the 'robber baron' period of our own history. A practice civilized counties outlawed decades ago. The Chinese are NOT our friends... and the people who enabled their cheating - the 'elites' in our own country who assisted with these plans - should be punished.
It is said to have been coined during the Korean war by frontline troops whom had run over enemy troops in jeeps.
The soldiers claimed that the tire tracks from the jeeps left a pattern resembling that of a closed zipper along the corpse.
They ingredients are not secret. Hydroxychloroquine, for instance, is easy to produce and already being produced just up the road from me, in Bristol at was once King Pharmaceuticals.
Go to a drive-thru confessional and take Senator Burr with you.

We have a tech known as remote viewing here int he West. You can bet the chi-coms have that, too. That tech gives clues to what is possible as a future timeline. The continuity of government here in the US has 'gamed' what is coming and plans are in place for nation lockdown and governance by a protected few. There is little doubt that someone(s) on high in government see what is coming.
What is coming will remove America from the power equations world-wide, making a thoroughfare for the Biblically prophesied Tribulation. Hundreds of millions will not be on earth to suffer what is coming, but perhaps remote viewers have not seen that it is God Who removes so many just as the last week in Daniel's Prophecy for Jerusalem and Israel arrives. The planning however is all about government surviving a much worse thing than this fizzling virus.
Millions? Try trillions
My brother told me that "zipper" was a pejorative against Asians. I always like to check out the source of words for myself. Thanks for the information.
That was an AMAZINGLY stupid thing for China to say.
Now we’ll pass regulations requiring government purchases from only domestic suppliers which will cost China a lot of money as their sales plummet in the US.
“These are the same techniques used during the ‘robber baron’ period of our own history. A practice civilized counties outlawed decades ago. The Chinese are NOT our friends... and the people who enabled their cheating - the ‘elites’ in our own country who assisted with these plans - should be punished.”
I’ll always wonder as to whether the labor union OBSESSION with ‘sticking it to the MAN’ (their company) drove most of the manufacturing out of this country - it certainly did drive a huge amount (for example, I’ll NEVER buy a car built by these bastards).
