The Food and Drug Administration “needs to build a beautiful wall” in order to prevent contaminated, low-quality pharmaceuticals from getting into the country from communist China, RX Border Defense board member Raul Lopez stated during a Breitbart News policy event on Thursday.

, which also featured Sen. Jim Banks , Sen. Tom Cotton , former Homeland Security Sec. Chad Wolf, former Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Jeff Gerrish, and healthcare speaker Patsy Writesman, focused on various threats presented by China and the Chinese Communist Party . Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle speaks with Raul Lopez and Patsy Writesman of RX Border Defense on Thursday, March 26, 2026, during a Breitbart News policy event on the threat of China in Washington, DC. Lopez knows the threats of communism well. Born in Havana, Cuba, Lopez emigrated to the United States at age five with his family to escape the communist Castro regime. He and Writesman sat down for a panel-style discussion conducted by Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle, where the amount of control that China has over drugs that Americans rely on — and the many dangers that poses — took center stage. “Antibiotics — they have 90 percent control,” Writesman said. “Painkillers, acetaminophen, ibuprofen — 70 to 95 percent. Steroids, cardiovascular drugs, sterile products and medical supplies … and we found contaminants in those.”WATCH — Jim Banks: Chinese Companies on FDA’s “Green List” Flooding U.S. with Dangerous Drugs: Speaking on the FDA, Writesman added that she has “great concern” for the agency’s ability to vet medical products coming into the country from China. “The FDA has high standards for the American population from the American companies, but they don’t have those same standards for what is coming across,” she said. Lopez said that China’s stranglehold on the American drug supply is not an accident but a critical tool of its geopolitical goal of domination. When Boyle asked if the CCP is “hell bent” on trying to “take over the world,” Lopez answered, “Not only do that, but then go an extra mile.”Lopez drew from his personal experiences with communism to illustrate the dangers of Chinese pharmaceutical domination. “What China or any communist system wants to do is control you, and you become dependent on them, every aspect of your life,” he said. “They destroyed my family in Cuba. And the way they did that is try to separate children from family members, whatever it takes.” He continued, “They come from all different angles. It’s like a Trojan horse. They come in with cheap prices on medicine and all that. But then they exit with a Chinese dragon, basically, and burn up everything in sight.”The health and national security risks posed by China’s drug manufacturing dominance requires a serious policy reexamination by government officials, Lopez said, suggesting Trump is just the right man to do it. He said that he is “shocked” that the FDA allows drugs to come in from a “communist country” like China. “That should be a red line,” Lopez argued. “It should be — Trump did a great job of building a beautiful wall to secure our country. Well, the FDA needs to build a beautiful wall, not allowing these types of drugs to come into our country.”Agent on Jill Biden's Detail Accidentally Shoots Self in the LegTiger Woods Arrested, Charged with DUI, Property Damage and Refusal to SubmU.S. Marines and Paratroopers Conducting Drills for Chemical and Nuclear Hazards en Route to MideastWatch Live: Donald Trump Speaks at Investment Forum in FloridaExclusive – Sen.
