  • WuXi Biologics is set to sell its Irish vaccine facility to Merck & Co for approximately US$500 million.
  • This move occurs in anticipation of looming US legislation that may restrict business for Chinese biotech firms.
  • The Biosecure Act, passed by the US House, specifically names WuXi as a targeted company.
  • Analysts suggest WuXi may be looking to adjust operations due to increased scrutiny from the US government.
  • This sale follows other reports of WuXi planning to divest some operations in light of political tensions.
