We are extremely proud to introduce innovative Chinese biopharmaceuticals to Europe that can address longstanding unmet medical needs of the patients there. Moving forward, we will remain committed to our globalization strategy, ‘In China, For Global.’ We will continue working towards the commercialization of toripalimab, and offer high-quality, innovative, domestically developed medicines to benefit more patients around the world.”
