Half of my career was spent dealing with offshore manufacturing quality issues in medical and aerospace. You know - those things nobody wants to fail.

Time to get key things back into America.

(What’s Left of) Our Economy: What Washington Doesn’t Know About U.S. China Drug Dependence Can Literally Kill Us

It’s bad enough, as widely reported, that as the coronavirus has begun spreading rapidly beyond China, the United States finds itself reliant on the People’s Republic for a wide variety…

>”The U.S. can no longer make penicillin. The last U.S. penicillin fermentation plant closed in 2004. Industry data reveal that Chinese companies formed a cartel, colluded to sell product on the global market at below market price, and drove all U.S. European, and Indian producers out of business. Once they gained dominant global market share, prices increased.”

>”The U.S. can no longer make generic antibiotics. Because the U.S. has allowed the industrial base to wither, the U.S. cannot produce generic antibiotics for children’s ear infections, strep throat, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, sexually-transmitted diseases, Lyme disease, superbugs and other infections that are threats to human life. We cannot make the generic antibiotics for anthrax exposure. After the anthrax attacks on Capitol Hill and elsewhere in 2001, the U.S. government turned to a European company to buy 20 million doses of the recommended treatment for anthrax exposure, doxycycline. That company had to buy the chemical starting material from China. What if China were the anthrax attacker?”

>”Beyond antibiotics, the U.S. industrial base for generic drug manufacturing is on the brink of collapse. Generic drugs are 90 percent of the medicines Americans take. Examples of generic drugs made in China by domestic companies and sold in the United States include: antibiotics, anti-depressants, birth control pills, chemotherapy for cancer treatment for children and adults, medicine for Alzheimer’s, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, Parkinson’s, and epilepsy, to name a few. If past performance is indicative of future performance, China’s generic drug companies will engage in cartel formation and predatory pricing, and drive out U.S. and other western generic companies.”

I have been hoping for the return of manufacturing in America from the 1990's when I realized that America had become a service related nation and was no longer a manufacturing country.

You know, it's easy to say that we need to bring manufacturing back to the US, but nobody will tell us how they propose to do it.

The really bad thing is that there are no investors out there who are willing to build a factory, outfit it with the equipment required to make the product, and then wait a few years to show a profit.

Especially not when they can make more money by having it made in China.

China can't make anything right....why we let them take over is horrid to contemplate....maybe that is how Obama and Biden became Billionaires....

And this is one of the reasons the President needs to keep the pressure on China until they compete fairly. To Democrats, of course, any criticism of China's action is evidence of racism.

How does the government make people stop doing things they don’t like (such as smoking)?

You have already been told how. By levying tariffs on Chinese exports until they start competing honestly.

There is no such thing as free trade with China because China limits access to its markets in order to get companies to open plants in China.

And yet Amazon rates them 3 stars-go figure! *(joke about no matter how many people complain about the products like micro SD cards and report the product as faulty and scam, Amazon still carries the product and allows its customers to be riped off and abused by suspect China manufacturers and sellers.)
So as long as we allow our service industries to push faulty manufacturing and scams without holding them accountable, then we can't complain about we ourselves tolerate and make acceptable practices. Standards people, we need to set standards.

It's not just a pissing match, it's very serious business, as has been pointed out in this thread, that has done very serious damage to our economy. This is a fight we have to win.

Amazon doesn't give them 3 stars, customers who rate the product give them three stars.

Great idea. More tariffs that come out of our pockets. That will teach them.

No, many times the ratings never match the customers views and even use other versions or products by the seller to bump their rating or hide issues with a product version. They also disallow certain reviews (censor) to control the real setiment.
