United States needs China the same way Batman needs Joker. Without China, the West is culturally set for complacency and decline. United States had no business in space until Soviets Sputnik-scared them. And I can only hope that Shanghai biotechs killing it on all fronts will
Crazy example of Chinese biotech cycle times: I'm reading a new bioRxiv preprint from a Chinese research team about a new circular RNA modality. It's about a cool idea to embed aptamers into circular RNAs. The circularity confers stability and the aptamers confer targeting. So
