Examining the next threat from Communist China: Our healthcare system
Fox News
Increase domestic medical device manufacturing to counter Chinese Communist Party threats to U.S. healthcare systems through data theft and supply chain disruption.
Chad F. Wolf is the founder and CEO of Wolf Global Advisors and a senior advisor to the Protecting America Initiative. He previously served as the acting secretary of Homeland Security during the first Trump administration.
President Donald Trump has rightly identified our nation’s increased dependence on Chinese companies as a clear threat to national security. In response, he has taken action to rebuild our domestic industrial manufacturing bases. This is especially true in critical security industries like defense, nuclear development, pharmaceutical manufacturing and data center infrastructure.
The Trump administration should now look at medical devices. This lesser-known threat to American privacy and security lurks within our hospitals, health care facilities and even in the homes of everyday Americans. Used to treat patients, monitor patient health and inform medical decisions made by health care professionals, medical devices are critical tools used in the everyday care of our most vulnerable members of society.
