Thanks for the ping. It’s the kind of thing that makes sense from a big picture standpoint. Nonetheless, people in Chinese pharma won’t be thrilled at being offered up as sacrificial lambs to keep Huawei in clover. In the distant past, people in various commercial sectors have had very violent reactions to having their livelihoods endangered by the powers-that-be. One even spawned an uprising that inspired one of China’s Four Classic Novels.

According to a Harvard monograph I read decades ago, Fang La was a lacquer merchant whose trade was suppressed, turned to salt smuggling and finally armed revolt.

Bring the pharma home immediately and put it on a wartimw footing. Communists are scumbags and we should have never let them get the upper hand. This will take time but it is necessary. Stop doing critical business with them like medicine. They are vicious monsters.
