Biotech in China

Using a unique combination of Western and Chinese sources of information, the authors succeed in painting an impressive picture of China’s rise to become a major scientific and technological power in the field of life sciences. A clear reading recommendation for scientists and research managers with projects in China, to get acquainted with this fast-moving country. As Napoleon said more than 200 years ago, ‘when China awakes, the whole world will tremble!'

Although Chinese authors are increasingly prominent in scientific publications and patent applications, an overview of China’s ambitious plans with the life sciences has been lacking. This book fills that gap and provides insight into how biotechnology is transforming China’s healthcare and agriculture markets, industry, and the environment.

As China is expanding its role as ‘the global workbench’ to assume an increasingly dominant role in frontier sciences, this book provides much evidence how this will influence the fields of biomedicine and life sciences not only in China but globally.
