As the coronavirus pandemic flares, China's top communists yesterday threatened the United States and, implicitly, the world with a devastating global biological war.
In an article in Xinhua, the state-run media agency that's largely considered the mouthpiece of the party, Beijing warned that it could retaliate against the United States, which it is blaming for unleashing the virus, by barring export of pharmaceuticals, thus plunging America into "the mighty sea of coronavirus."
The Reds are claiming that the virus did not leak from a virus laboratory in Wuhan, but was apparently loosed by the U.S. military.
What the Reds did not mention is that the worse the coronavirus gets in America, the more the danger to the entire planet, including China.
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., told Fox News that America must reconfigure its pharmaceutical industry so that necessary products are no longer made in China. He said if U.S. companies won't make that change voluntarily, it will be necessary for government to step in.
Similarly, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla, told Fox that America is "dangerously reliant" on China for the production of critical goods, including parts for technologies needed to fight the virus.
From Fox News:
The disturbing threats made during a global pandemic as well as the scary consequences if that threat becomes real highlight just how tight China's grip is on the global supply chain.
Already, the Food and Drug Administration has announced the first drug shortage related to the coronavirus. Though it did not disclose which drug was in short supply, the FDA did say it could not access enough raw components needed because they are made in China.
