Most claimed "hypersonic" missiles can't actually manoeuvre at those speeds so you can spot them at distance and work out where you need to send an interceptor missile. We saw this with Patriot batteries vs Kinzhal in Ukraine.

For a start my understanding is that China doesn't actually export much end product pharmaceuticals, it tends to export lots of the chemical precursors. So if companies moved their production to the US they would find that a large amount of the precursors they need now have 104% tariffs applied and they can't compete with production in countries with less insane trade policies regardless of what tariffs go on the end products...

While that is true, I do think there is an opportunity for the EU to get a real economic and diplomatic boost by strengthen ties with the traditional western allies in the Pacific now that America is torching its bridges there. Whether or not it can manage to get all member states to agree quickly enough to actually take that opportunity is a different matter though...
