I'd take Chinese manufactured drugs if it breaks the current hegemony. I already buy stuff from India from sketchy online pharmacies, having some semi-trustworthy body providing any oversight would be a an improvement.
- walshemj 9y agoYou know that these sketchy pharmacies are run by gangsters who have bumped people off (source bbc world service) and also do nice things like sell HIV drugs to poor Africans that don't contain enough of the active agreement
- manmal 9y agoI would not. They had the melamine-in-baby-formula incident, in some regions they have poisoned tap water, and corruption is omnipresent. I‘m too selective about what I put into my body to take any chances there. Eg if they don’t filter water, pills might contain lead.
- philwelch 9y agoThe US has poisoned tap water in some regions, too.

- jstarfish 9y agoThis is xenophobic nonsense. China executed or sentenced the executives behind the melamine debacle to life in prison, so there's already been greater accountability than we'd see for the same supply line issues in the US. Flint, Michigan has lead-poisoned tap water. Look at the salmonella cases that pop up every few years and kill handfuls of people. Look at the infants accidentally being given methadone prescriptions. There's never any real consequence for mishaps in the US. Maybe a fine at worst.
