I suspect the unfortunate situation is related to this (report on the government's website linked below):
"China-Based Chemical Manufacturing Companies and Employees Indicted...."

These are raw chemical companies, not finished product companies. Therefore, they make a variety of many types of raw chemicals. Some of the chemicals may be used to produce other types of products including drugs. They may get shut-down and arrested for one specific type of chemical; but if the factory is shut-down, none of the others chemicals are produced either.
Therefore, even though the government's main target may not be a chemical used to produce AAS, it still means we all lose access to raws when the chemical factories that produce the raws gets shut-down.
Guys, in my opinion if the products are important for you to have, I recommend you stock up now so you have some time to navigate the situation if/when the disruption in raws supply effects things.
This is genuine advice, not some marketing bullshit -- I just put in an order myself to make sure I'm good for my TRT for at least 6 months to a year.
Hopefully, everything will be ok and it won't matter, but it is better to make sure you have what you need now than being stressed in the future wishing you had prepared.

How do you think gear from China has been getting in so easily? It's not special smuggling routes, submarines, or secret airports. It's just the mail. Or more accurately, large containers filled with tiny packages, that are relabeled with US postage once they arrive in the US. Customs is sent an electronic list of contents, senders, and recipients which customs just green lights (because they're overwhelmed and they can't charge duties on any of it), and bam, it's in.
That's all about to change.
The "De minimus" rule allowed packages with a declared value under $800 to enter the...
For now this is all I know about the situation and it is not something any of us can control. I hope some new companies start up to fulfill the demand.
There is a lot of demand so there should still be motivation for other entrepreneurs to provide supply in the future.
I will be sure to share updates here or in the news threads if/when new information becomes available.
Thank you for your understanding.
