Hell, China is more worried about getting food shipped from the USA then we are about the drugs from China (the Chineese people protested when China allowed beef to be imported from the US, out of concern that we don't adequetly test for "Mad Cow" disease). The pharmaceutical manufacturing companies in China that are exporting drugs to the US are in large part owned by US and European companies.
