this is news to me

I knew they skipped the normal peer review to rush these vaccines out the door but it is my understanding that both vaccines have been peer reviewed since their release with very good results

am I wrong

Peer review isn't necessarily reason to take a breath and relax over the safety of what the FDA approves. Prescription benzodiazepines originally received their peer review for FDA approval for incapacitating asylum patients. Four decades later benzo variants like Klonopin, Xanax, Valium, and Ambien are among the most prescribed pills today, especially among Millennial and Gen Z women. Their addiction and abuse have resulted in many patients eventually using heroin and meth as substitute.

To prevent another catastrophic pandemic, the report suggests key reforms:

A new global threats council should be created with the power to hold countries accountable
There should be a disease surveillance system to publish information without the approval of countries concerned

China isn't going to be held accountable for anything as long as it produces the world's EVERYTHING.  This isn't an accident.  It's called leverage, and they have it over everyone else on the planet.

Oddly, China is slowly becoming a victim of its own success... With rising prosperity comes rising labor costs, which shift low-skill labor increasingly elsewhere. 

One of the big areas where one may still look for cheap labor is Africa... If nations there ever get their political stability in order enough to be "safe" from a foreign investment perspective.

Which is why there's a country that's devoting TONS of capital and effort in order to develop Africa to that level of stability... And of course that country is China. 

(To be fair, it's also about natural resources--much of China's investment is to secure development of those resources. Their investment isn't only about low-cost labor.)

Yup, we've been slowly moving some of our manufacturing out of China and into places like Indonesia and the Philippines in recent years. 

Do I recall correctly, that a fair bit of HDD manufacturing is done in the Philippines too?

We don't do anything in the Philippines; all HDD for us is Thailand. Looks like the #3 market share guy does production there though. 

Thailand is the big one for us and our main competitor. Malaysia used to be big, but as desktop/notebook HDD volumes disappeared, the production is now consolidated to Thailand and those factories in Malaysia were closed. Good thing I got a trip to Kuala Lumpur a couple years ago for a customer factory audit before that happened lol... 

No HDD manufacturing in China that I'm aware of (definitely none for us), but we do have some retail SSD packaging/test going on there.
