Especially when it came to PPE, which China dominates. The other issue is pharmaceuticals, which are now mostly produced in China. We gutted Puerto Rico's production capacity back in 2006, when we changed the 936 tax rule.

If we are interested in on-shoring production, this seems like an easy switch to flip, since we infrastructure is already in PR. (I do acknowledge that the Rx industry should foot the bill for this too, I am just focusing on ways to improve the supply-chain for critical items).
