Parabilis Medicines set a biotech IPO record at $670 million. And on June 8, the Pentagon added WuXi AppTec to the 1260H list, starting the BIOSECURE supply chain clock. China's Decree 834, issued April 7, made compliance adversarial from both sides simultaneously. The organizations modeling only the US side are solving half the problem.
