Q: When will the new antibody drug hit the market?
We are pushing for the market launch as early as possible. But several procedures are needed.
A treatment guideline must be formulated. The conditions for storage, shipping and production must also be met. This process may take a few days or a few weeks.
It takes about two to three months to finish production after we receive an order. So we are also pushing for a mechanism like pre-purchase or reserve.
China has launched a new pilot program to allow eligible enterprises greater access to overseas financing in support of green and low-carbon transformation projects, the country's foreign exchange regulator said on Aug 21.
To further streamline the experience, China is expanding tax refund stores, broadening the range of refundable goods, and refining refund procedures, ensuring an efficient and seamless shopping experience for global visitors.
