Bhopal incident. It's easily one of the worth industrial accidents in the world, and the then PM whisked Union Carbide's head out of India, instead of prosecuting his firm for the cleanup. That hasn't stopped the Americans from lobbying though.

China routinely violates tech IPs by Americans' own reporting; I'm surprised as to why they'd not do the same for drugs.

India is also under pressure from the American state to cut down on generics; European pressure is apparently more in terms of supposed "human rights" violations. There have been rumors that India will buckle to this pressure, but I'm not sure when this will be. India's economy is currently not in a decent state, and if it becomes inevitable for IMF/WB to come 'rescue' it, this will almost certainly be on the agenda.
