- The percentage of pharmaceuticals made in China is jarring—blood pressure medication, Alzheimer's drugs, Parkinson's, epilepsy, depression meds, ibuprofen.
- So much of over-the-counter and serious medications that people need are made in China; outsourcing everything creates disaster if supply chains break down.
