A Chinese biotech company under fire from lawmakers over its ties to China’s military and multiple other firms linked to the Chinese government have made dozens of payments to government scientists, records show.
WuXi AppTec, which think tanks and the press have reported has close ties with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), made dozens of payments to National Institutes of Health (NIH) scientists for intellectual property created in taxpayer-funded labs since 2012, according to records obtained by Open The Books via Freedom of Information Act request. At least 39 Chinese companies have paid royalties to NIH scientists for intellectual property licenses, among them subsidiaries of the state-owned pharmaceutical company Sinopharm.
Chinese firms largely paid to license scientific innovations with pharmaceutical applications produced in publicly-funded labs, with both the NIH and the scientists who worked on them taking home a cut of the proceeds.
WuXi AppTec and other Chinese corporations funding the NIH is a “major conflict of interests,” national security expert Brandon Weichert told the DCNF.
“Money is influence, it’s access,” Weichert said. “In some cases you have instances where these companies would send money and also would then be given favorable access in terms of being able to send their scientists to come work at labs in U.S. government-affiliated research institutions.” […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
