Well, this is new, for 2024. [Though in truth, for most of the first half of 2013, I saw similar unexplained / inexplicable traffic, from both China and Central European IPs. I later figured that one out, to be honest. I was missing something obvious, until after July 10 2013, that year.]
This time, I haven’t a clue. And to be clear, other than Humanigen (a company we covered here, from time to time) having finally thrown in the towel, and filed a chapter… I cannot imagine that any recent life science happening would interest state actors in the PRC. Here’s that bit:
…Humanigen, once a favorite among Wall Street investors due to its prospects against COVID-19, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Wilmington, Delaware, Bloomberg Law reported Thursday, citing court papers.
The company listed $521K worth of assets and over $44M in debt in its Chapter 11 petition filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware….
I suppose this might be of interest to Chinese state actors (for its COVID-19 treatment candidate implications), but… more likely than not, it is just an indexing of all med- and life sciences happenings in the US that leads to the Chinese swarming. Ah well — onward, grinning.
