Great job refuting your own point. QQ is owned by the same parent company as WeChat (Tencent). Tencent is also implementing the Chinese Social Credit Score system, and so in my humble opinion, is the tech arm of the chinese government.
This morning I drove town to Tijuana and bought my "refill" from Farmacia Roma 3 blocks from the border for $15. My US doctor wanted to charge me $200 for additional tests and then $30 for the same meds. This is for a simple bacterial infection.
