"Just like we saw with telecommunications, with batteries and critical minerals, America's growing dependency on Chinese biopharmaceutical supply chains is a strategic vulnerability. So what we should be asking is, if China has already restricted access to critical minerals, why would we assume it would continue supplying life-saving medicines during a conflict? Imagine American doctors forced to ration treatments because supply chains have been weaponized. Imagine policymakers forced to choose..."
