reported that there are currently 14 oncology medicines listed "in shortage" by US regulators, and with more than 1 million Americans needing to undergo chemotherapy each year, doctors have begun rationing their supplies.


When the going gets tough, the US discreetly imports Chinese cancer drugs.

reported this weekend. Roughly 10% to 20% of all cancer patients will take it.

FDA approves shipments from the plant in India as long as a third party certifies their quality.

I guess chemotherapy patients will better have to learn how to read Chinese from now on...

Strangely enough, I agree but his general stupidity is an insult to anyone’s intelligence and integrity

US political analysts being retarded again. In my opinion Xi was just reciprocating towards Russian PM Mishustin similar treatment to that Putin gave towards Chinese Defense Minister Li Shangfu just recently.

Of course Xi would meet with the prime minister of Russia when they are visiting each other's countries.

The Chinese President even regularly meets with lower ranking foreign officials visiting China including cabinet ministers from small third world countries.

The following is an old video of a former Liberian official talking about the difference between how China and the United States treat visiting officials from Africa.

On this video, he also mentioned how much of FAKE/ELITIST NANCY "CORRUPT" PELOSI was to the African delegation. Americans exudes virtue signaling morality at it's finest, especially these "LIBERAL TYPES"

All countries are composed of individuals. The individuals in India, in general, are not as intelligent as the individuals in many other countries, so India performs poorly at International Science Olympiads compared to those countries. France and the Netherlands are not missing from the International Math Olympiad (

). France has more medals than India and the Netherlands has a similar number of medals, in spite of the fact that the Netherlands has less than 1/80th of India's population. There are many brilliant Romanians and Poles, so it does not surprise me at all that those countries are top performers at International Science Olympiads. The fact that some European nations are not top performers at International Science Olympiads does not change the fact that most major industrial nations (China, US, UK, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, South Korea, etc.) are. India is not one of those nations.

It is absolutely untrue that Iranian-Americans and Vietnamese-Americans do not compete in Science Olympiads. They do, but it is incredibly difficult to secure a spot on the national team due to stiff competition.

These competitions are not insignificant. Many contestants go on to win Fields Medals, Wolf Prizes, Breakthrough Prizes, etc. Many of them go on to become accomplished professors, scientists, and engineers.

I looked at your Math Olympiad table. Korea, Germany and Iran are ranked higher than Japan. there is some other countries that ranked higher than Japan but i will not go into that. Indians are not less intelligent otherwise Mideast will replace them faster than anyone else.
do you think those countries are really better than Japan institutions?. i will start with my personal experience. when Mercedes introduce there 100 anniversary editions vehicles they told me the are going to give free upgrade to multimedia navigation system but that was provided by Melco (Mitsubishi electronics) with some help from Indian software. UAE recently signed military R&D agreement with Japan. Do you think it is same as Korean air defense system they bought which is some one else technology. or that Saudi backed Lucid EVs with Panasonic batteries. or various Mideastern airlines Panasonic Next IFE. . Korea weak human capital force it to overinvest in US Fabs while Japan does not need to do that. how about all those Japanese BOF SUVs that no one can match.
you bought ranking based on medals that even post communist Eastern Europe can achieve as this only way for them to get recognition. this plane deal is implemented faster than anyone else for wide body when every one is waiting because it has to go through much extensive testing and further modifications. do you think this plane possible without Japanese input.

US Taps Chinese Drug Company Amid Chemotherapy Shortages​

Don’t forget the other part of the Indian manufacturing plant about allowing them to continue exporting…

It also said Friday it would allow an Indian plant that had in recent months been cited for manufacturing violations to resume exporting certain cancer drugs to the U.S. as long as a third party certifies their quality, among conditions.

The cisplatin shortage began after the FDA found, according to an agency inspection report, quality problems at an Indian manufacturing facility in November, including a truck full of bags of shredded documents.

That plant, owned by Intas Pharmaceuticals, made about half of the U.S. cisplatin supply, said Erin Fox, a clinical pharmacist who tracks drug shortages and is associate chief pharmacy officer at University of Utah Health.

Truckload of shredded documents, manufacturing violations, and half the US supply comes from that one single facility.

I don't necessarily disagree, as India is always like that, the privileged help themselves.

Even with the expected corruption, they don't have train crashes killing scores of people every year.

Oh well, RIP.

If this was the Indian rail system, we should see more train crashes and fatalities. Luckily this is only some bank, how they work in India.

I mean:
Seems to me like clear sign of a rigidly classist society trying to keep their people dumb and easily controlled. Say what you will about the negatives but Mao was right to purge this class during Cultural Revolution.
