i just don't think it is good for any country to be dependent on china that much, do you ??

Especially when a country like china plays by their own -anti-capitalist rules? Like nationalizing (foreign) companies and commandeering their production?

Of course it wasn't smart. But rather than being a commentary on capitalism, it speaks in judgment of blind greed, a not-so-fine point usually overlooked by most.

This pandemic is raging in 6 of the G7 countries, US, Italy, France, UK, Germany and Canada.
What is it about a system that can print billons when needed to stabilize the markets but still have a shortage of masks and ventilators? Health care is 18% of most nations GDP. Where is the money going?

The U.S. spends twice Canada on healthcare and they are even less prepared. It is not money, it is lack of planning.
