I had to laugh while reading "Vetting Threats to Safe Drug Supplies" in C&EN, April 2, 2012. Seems the pharmaceutical industry is all upset about the counterfeit drugs flooding the world from China. Hey, pharma industry in general and Lilly in particular -- YOU sent the chemical scale up and formulation technology to China so you could got rid of your U.S. employees and make a quick buck. They DID NOT have the technical expertise to manufacture drugs before YOU taught them. And now you are shocked when a country that is famous for counterfeiting everything from handbags to guitars takes that technology and makes counterfeit drugs??

We also sent them a few hundred million a year to build their infrastructure. Just sayin'
