March 18, 2019 First, a few wordsѧѧ Dear reader, This section isn’t really about our company – we have about 500 pages to tell you all about that. (And don’t forget the Risk Factors section.) This section is really about where we came from, how we got here and where we want to be. It’s all about choice. One hot summer day about ten years ago, at a big backyard in the suburb of Toronto, a group of us, close friends and families, were having a summer barbecue. Weather was perfect. Kids were playing. After a few beers (or maybe more than a few), we – all scientists and managers in the vaccine field – started talking about the stories of my recent trips back to China and the huge gap between China and Canada in vaccine field. Nobody disagreed with the facts; but to do something about it – that took some convincing. We all had a lot to give up – senior jobs at global big pharmas, prestige, money, comfortable life – a dream life for many. What are we balancing that with? Not a lot. At the end, we all felt that we just needed to do the right thing. We made the choice, and decided to give it all up and do it. (Hey, we were as surprised with our own choice as anybody.) Our company’s name – CanSino (康希諾). In Chinese it means health, hope and promises – things we truly valued. In English it means Canada and China (duh!). The toughest part of it all, looking back, wasn’t giving up the job, money or prestige. It was the family. Most of our families stayed in Canada, and we could only see them a few times a year. When you think about your young kids and teenagers growing up without dads, when you know your wife had to shovel out of 10 inches of deep snow early morning in -20°C wind chill all by herself – those were the tough moments. Fast forward to 2015, Sierra Leone, where we were doing clinical trials for our Ebola vaccine. Conditions were rough. Extreme poverty. Power outages all the time. Besides Ebola, they were facing malaria, HIV and many other infections. What struck many of us the most was the inevitability the people felt about early death (average life span was about 40 some years), and the indifference they felt about life and existence. Even our driver once told us, if he didn’t die from Ebola, he probably would have died from something else. That line was like a reset button that put our lives in perspective for many of us. If there were any doubts in our mind about whether what we were doing had a point, they were gone by then. In Africa, in China and even in more developed countries, infectious diseases are still causing pain and suffering to people even though many of these diseases can be prevented through vaccination.

Sutter, The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), first in China, and then Coordinator globally, including in the United States, has drawn attention to the ways in which the Specialist in Asian Trade U.S. economy depends on manufacturing and supply chains based in China. This report and Finance aims to assess current developments and identify immediate and longer range China trade issues for Congress. Andres B. Schwarzenberg Analyst in International An area of particular concern to Congress has been U.S. shortages in medical supplies— Trade and Finance including personal protective equipment (PPE) and pharmaceuticals—as the United States stepped up efforts to contain the COVID-19 pandemic with limited domestic Michael D. Sutherland stockpiles and insufficient U.S. industrial capacity. Because of China’s role as a global Analyst in International supplier of PPE, medical devices, antibiotics, and active pharmaceutical ingredients, Trade and Finance reduced exports from China led to shortages of critical medical supplies in the United States. Exacerbating the situation, in early February 2020, the Chinese government nationalized control of the production and distribution of medical supplies in China— directing all production for domestic use—and directed the bureaucracy and Chinese industry to secure supplies from the global market. Once past the initial peak of its COVID-19 outbreak, the Chinese government appears to have prioritized certain countries and selectively released some medical supplies for overseas delivery.
