Like many of you, I recently found out that I'm Chinese.

Everyone's in a Chinese time in their life.

There's like a big social media trend in mostly Gen Z in general around embracing Chineseness.

If you go on TikTok, there's a lot of China inspiration travel content.

Like look at this cyberpunk city, look at this flying car, look at these robots.

Yes, I think so.

I think that it's sort of hand in hand with like nihilism about the U.S.

and being really bummed that like America is falling apart and like our government isn't working.

And, you know, I think to a lot of people it looks, I wouldn't say this is accurate, but it's kind of like a paradise of everything's functional and people are happy and it's so high tech.

But anyway, I think like as folks have warmed up to the idea of China as being potentially more technologically advanced, the fact that the peptides are Chinese probably gives them some extra power.

So I was looking into this.

I think it's actually quite a similar story to how China dominated manufacturing in so many other industries.

The Chinese government gave subsidies in like the eighties and nineties to a lot of local governments that were willing to invest in the drug supply chain.

And they start at the most basic elements of the supply chain.

So like very simple compounds and drugs, and have slowly been climbing up to like pharmaceutical manufacturing.

And then now they're doing a lot of biotech innovation.

But a lot of it is,

Low labor costs, a high concentration of like chemists and science and medical talent concentrated in the same place.

These industry towns where like everybody in this one town is some part of a drug supply chain.

So China is actually the world's peptide manufacturing hub.
