... And it's f'ing annoying!
Your premise is that the CCP (and it's elite) are the bad guys...sorry, but it is the USA elites that are the bad guys, not China, its CCP(sic), or indeed its elite.
You haven't realised that they're not the bad guy here, right? It's actually the USA who is the bad guy. It's pretty clear to much of the rest of the world.
Don't they know English?
I didn't think so...
That's weird...it sounds like the courier screwed you, not alibaba.
Taiwan is not Asia. Asia is massive.
You asked about domestic supplies...
 New England Compounding Center (2012): Compounded steroid injections were contaminated with fungus, causing over 700 infections and more than 60 deaths from fungal meningitis.
 Sudafed Tampering (1991): Over-the-counter cold capsules were deliberately laced with cyanide, resulting in two fatalities from acute poisoning.
 ByHeart Infant Formula (2025): A U.S.-manufactured infant formula was linked to a botulism outbreak, hospitalizing dozens of infants.
 Contaminated Herbal Supplements (2024): Certain herbal capsules sold in the U.S. were found to contain undeclared prescription drugs, leading to recalls over risks of severe side effects.
No, they are not hostile to the USA. You have it backwards. China just refuses to be bullied and responds in kind, because it can.
There are several documented cases of U.S. medicines causing widespread harm due to contamination or tampering. A prominent example is the 2012 fungal meningitis outbreak, caused by contaminated steroid injections from the New England Compounding Center, which sickened over 700 people and led to numerous deaths. In a case of criminal tampering, Sudafed capsules were laced with cyanide in 1991, resulting in fatalities. More recently, in 2025, a U.S.-made infant formula was recalled after being linked to a botulism outbreak. These incidents, resulting from manufacturing failures, criminal acts, or compounding errors, have led to product recalls, legal action, and increased regulatory oversight.
Rofl. Looking in the mirror again? Seriously, how can you even think this?
No need to apologise, except to yourself.
I thought zephyr was an Intel thing...
