china v.s india?

  • Dual-System Reality: China runs a split model — with legitimate, licensed manufacturers operating alongside underground or grey-market labs, especially in raw AAS production.

  • Regulatory Opacity: Unlike India or the West, China’s enforcement is inconsistent, with selective crackdowns often based on political timing or global scrutiny rather than strict compliance.

  • Political Influence: Local governments may protect key manufacturers due to tax revenue and employment, which blurs the line between legal and tolerated operations.

  • Global Perception: While China dominates in volume and low cost, buyers often face uncertainty about documentation, purity, and traceability — especially in high-risk categories like raw AAS.

  • Unmatched Scale, Unmatched Risks: No other country matches China’s scale or speed, but the same scale makes it harder to trust without direct oversight or third-party verification.

Bottom Line: China’s regulatory structure is not built for full transparency or Western-style compliance. It’s a high-reward, high-risk environment that can’t be directly compared to countries like India, where regulation is slower but more transparent and globally aligned.

One thing I have heard about China, is that bribes there are ultra commonplace. To the point where they have become just the way things are done in many places.
