I know how much you trust the label Made in China.

Well, that same great quality is soon coming to

the drugs you get at your local pharmacy.

they're already selling drugs to Americans.

But I'm talking about selling legit drugs, like vaccines.

And not just to Americans, but to the entire world.

It's part of Chinese leader Xi Jinping's plan called Made in China 2025.

The goal is to make you have the opposite reaction

That is, that initial gut reaction you had to “made in China,”

And also, according to internal documents,

Changsheng sold vaccines worth about 5 million dollars

Though there is no indication that any of the bad vaccines

So far, 15 people have been arrested in the scandal,

The scandal was first exposed by an anonymous post on WeChat.

It was quickly deleted by Chinese censors of course,

but it lives on through the Ethereum blockchain.

“The incident has sparked one of the country's
