China's role in the global healthcare industry is undergoing a significant transformation, moving beyond its traditional image as a manufacturing hub to emerge as a dynamic center for innovation. This shift is characterized by the country's unique advantages in scale, speed, and deep integration into the global pharmaceutical value chain, fundamentally redefining its influence in drug discovery, development, and commercialization.
