Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>In 24Q1, the innovative drug projects and medical device projects ranked top two in domestic investment and financing deals, but investment in the field of AI cooled down.</li>
<li>For biotech that located in China and only for China markets, it’s hard for them to generate good returns. It is recommended not to spend too much time on them.</li>
<li>As the US House Committee advances the BIOSECURE Act to restrict WuXi AppTec/WuXi Bio last week, we listed some points worth the attention at this stage.This is far from over.</li>
