Meanwhile, a substantial amount of the pharmaceuticals that require a prescription are manufactured in China. Does that not concern you? What could possibly go wrong?
Please read the post I was responding to, what I wrote applies to that.

What could go wrong? Perhaps a typhoon. A loss of 13% would be felt but hopefully the rest of the supply chain could pick that up. Nowhere near the top of my worry list.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
