All the comments here are very US/Western-centric. Maybe they are a different culture, having a completely different economic model. Maybe they are not Capitalists and not thinking in pure Capitalistic terms, such as winning, growth, market domination, IPO, market value or competition. Maybe they are not obsessed with US labs. Maybe they are ideologically different than you. Maybe they have different priorities. Maybe they have a different playbook. Maybe they never thought of it as throwing a lifeline to American labs. Maybe they don't care. Maybe they're just different people.
