I'm not sure what's going on with GYC. They appear to be offline, and there's a message posted in their Discord channel "GYC is currently undergoing internal adjustments following an unplanned inspection. This is a routine regulatory process to ensure proper operational compliance".

Yes they have been saying that across all their channels: unplanned inspection last Thursday then silence.
I think I got lucky, I placed an order on June 5 and received it via DHL on the 13th. (Paid a tariff on the 11th) Communication and check-ins were excellent for the 10 days or so I was interacting with them.
FWIW I haven't tried to update them to let them know it all worked well while they've been dark.

There is no way this is an inspection, right?
I have never seen GYC taking a break before. So it seems bad, as in game over for GYC.

Its not looking good. 7 days of radio silence. There are people putting links for different resellers and discords in the general chat on GYC's Telegram.
Its a bummer, like I said above I had a v. positive experience for the brief moment I worked with them.

I don't keep track of it on my calendar, but seem to recall that every year around Dragon Boat Festival time at least one of the Chinese ends up getting "inspected" and closed down.

I have it from fairly reputable source that GYC's shipping address was tapped, which resulted in a lot of packages being seized at the border and they are in the process of relocating their operation to a different locale. I guess the accuracy of that remains to be seen.
so probably a good time not to order next year

Regarding one theory: If the "inspection" was a government takedown, why have SSA and SRY gone unscathed? Too big to fail? Too many government connections?

I'm seeing some signs of life on the GYC Telegram & PepChat. Seems like they are only using an email with info@ handle. All the others (John, Yoko, Lisa etc.) should be avoided for now.
Also, seems like there are people pretending to be the GYC sales reps that have been DMing people. They are advising people not to trust any DM solicitations. --Probably a good practice generally.

Another interesting thing is M-Peptides went dark at the same time and ppl reportedly started hearing from them yesterday as well. Also by email only. 🤔
Are they linked?
I'm a GYC buyer and had a message in to Yoko about buying when GYC went dark - no one has contacted me yet.

There were several others that "disappeared" around the same time 6/18-6/18 as GYC did and now they are all "semi-back" all at the same time. Pretty strange and coincidental. Annual govt. crackdown? No doubt, there are also some scammers trying to cash in on this situation.
Now see, we need guys like you thinking ahead. Would you put a note on your calendar to remind us of this next year? 🥰

I don't understand what game the Chinese are playing...unless it is just a game or a regional thing.
Some vendors like GYC have to hide temporarily, but not the two biggest vendors, SRY and SSA?

Bigger players have more bribery money. But QSC also proved that's not always enough.
I'm trying to understand something that seems contradictory regarding GLP production in China. If GLP manufacturing is legal there and the Chinese government generally supports business opportunities for its citizens, why do GLP vendors operate secretively and actively avoid government raids?

Because they are selling a lot more than just GLP.
Because they are running afoul of some Chinese law usually. For example, selling to Chinese citizens is not allowed but some of these companies do that. Some of these companies are making fent precursors or things that are not allowed.
I'm not sure there's ever been anyone with appropriate expertise in Chinese law that's deemed GLP production "legal" over there. It's kind of like the research use only "exemption" countless people rely on when discussing US law that doesn't really have much of a leg to stand on yet the masses are convinced it's real. (I would so be selling research use only cocaine and vicodin if it were true).
As zpped mentioned, GLP's (and other peptides) are far from their only products - they're just the ones getting a lot of attention right now for obvious reasons. You can safely assume that all of these places are cooking up everything from knock-off Viagra, Cialis and steroids to fentanyl precursors and likely some even the straight-up real thing. We're fortunate that peptide production is such a different process that it's highly unlikely the things we buy should ever come near or in contact with the nasty stuff, but there's no guarantee it can't/won't/doesn't. That's a harsh reality most of us conveniently ignore for our own comfort.
I'm not convinced it necessarily even has to do with the legality or lack thereof of anything they're producing, but like you said selling that stuff domestically is usually a big no-no, and often it seems like the crackdowns over there frequently coincide with other things going on in China or around the world such as during big athletic events like the olympics, etc. or when the US govt is making a fuss about fentanyl precursors and such. It really seems like it's more for show to set examples rather than to actually stop the industry over there.
