i saw this narrative.
China has weaponized its Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) supply chain by turning geographic monopoly into a geopolitical lever, controlling roughly 40% of global API output. By providing deep state subsidies for Key Starting Materials (KSMs), Beijing can undercut foreign competitors, making allied nations like the US and India dangerously reliant on Chinese inputs for everyday and essential medicines.
Supply chains can be weaponised. A dependence that is purely commercial in peacetime becomes a lever in any other weather.
china just did some export control on japan.
i do not know who is right or wrong, but being dependent on others is losing leverage.
US held vaccines during Covid , China may use similar reason to do the same now.
i hope the WHEAT revolution provides the much needed alternative.
I am not saying china is wrong here, it's just biotech was ignored for so long
