Something to get the blood moving in the body.
I don't know what you think.
Okay.
Well, Alice, just as you were mentioning, the Chinese approvals of GLP-1, or we could call them Chinese Zempic variant drugs,
have already started.
And I think there were five of these drugs that were approved last year.
As you mentioned, there are a huge number undergoing development and trial in China at the moment.
So my prediction is that by the end of this year, there will be at least 10
of these GLP-1 drugs available in the Chinese market.
Some of them will be made by Chinese companies.
In fact, I would say the majority will be made by Chinese companies, and some of them will be made by joint ventures between Chinese companies and foreign companies, and some by foreign companies as well.
And my guess is that this will cause a big price war.
And as you have already mentioned, this will mean that Chinese GLP-1 drugs are undercutting their foreign counterparts and competitors by big margins.
And then we're going to see an outflow of these drugs all over the world.
Trump is focusing more on doing deals and a lot less on American ideals, you know, for the world.
We've left that Reagan-esque type of America as a shining city on the hill, a beacon for mankind, an ideal for global aspirations, the leader of the free world.
All of that rhetoric
Well, and it was a lot more than rhetoric, really.
From Reagan's time until now, it's been followed up with military might and economic muscle.
This is the world that Pax Americana has created.
