“The United States depends on China for 95 percent of the key components that are necessary to make our generic drugs, and if China shut the door on exports, within months, our health care system would begin to collapse,” she warned.

Gibson, the author of China Rx, explained just how far this dependency goes.

“That’s how dependent we are, and it’s not just us. The world is dependent. Europe is dependent.
