"The United States depends on China for 95% of the key components that are necessary to make our generic drugs.

And if China shut the door on exports, within months our healthcare system would begin to collapse.

That's how dependent we are, and it's not just us.

The world is dependent, Europe is dependent, because China has a chokehold on those upstream raw materials and chemicals needed to make these active ingredients, which makes medicine, and that turns into the pills and vials that we have and take.

…I can't think of any other product, any other food commodity - whether it's wheat, rice, corn, or energy supplies, that we have so allowed to be centralized in a single country - whatever country it is.

It's a disaster waiting to happen." - Rosemary Gibson, author of “China Rx”
