WASHINGTON, D.C. – In case you missed it, the Washington Reporter published an editorial championing the work Chairman Rick Scott is doing to highlight and address the danger posed to American families by our overreliance on Communist China and other foreign countries for essential drugs and pharmaceutical ingredients.
Chairman Scott has been leading the charge to address this issue, convening hearings, meetings with and writing letters to government officials, industry and supply chain experts, and is committed to shoring up our country against the threat posed to both the health of American families and our national security.
The editors wrote, “A Chinese drugmaker with a record of regulatory problems and ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) should not be operating anywhere near the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain. Yet Sinopep, the Chinese drugmaker, has managed to do just that, prompting fresh scrutiny on Capitol Hill and a blunt warning from Sen. Rick Scott (R., Fla.)…
‘… the United States remains deeply dependent on China-linked sources for critical drugs.
‘…as Senator Scott and others have pointed out, it is better to fix the problem for long term than wake up during the next COVID crisis and be fully depending on the Chinese Communist Party for access to medicine.”
