<li>Recently, a new document about online diagnosis and treatment was released, which would bring changes to the business model and profit model of digital healthcare platforms.</li>
<li>The COVID-19 has pushed mRNA vaccines to great heights. However, the next mRNA-based product may not be approved that quick as COVID-19 vaccine. The trough in mRNA may be imminent.</li>
<li>About 20 pharmaceutical companies have drugs included in VBP scope but cannot ensure timely supply due to COVID-19/raw material cost increases/supply chain issues. Investors need to be aware of that.</li>

Eli Lilly's development strategy is worth learning from, which explains the investment logic of a lot of “smart money” and can also be used for reference by domestic pharmaceutical companies.
For CGT, before detail policies on how to properly commercialize CGT in China released, CXO with related R&amp;D capabilities could be a better investment option at the current stage.
The overall sleep situation of Chinese people is not optimistic, leading to the rapid development of China's sleep economy. Meanwhile, we also recommend that investors pay attention to sleep quality.

<li>The first to be affected is the clinical trial projects under way in Ukraine. It’s possible that pharmaceutical companies may lose such a high-quality and low cost clinical trial center. </li>
<li>Ukraine plays an important role in the healthcare supply chain. So, the war would affected both pharmaceutical companies and medical device companies, both directly and indirectly.</li>
<li>The risk to CXO is not completely eliminated. The “cyclical nature” of CRO industry could begin to show. But CDMO is better than CRO in terms of short-term investment opportunities.</li>

<li>If the R&amp;D pipeline projects are not recognized by international capital,the main reason could be either the product development progress is lagging behind or the projects are not good enough.</li>
<li>The real innovative drugs would not be affected by generics that easily, and are to overturn the size of the old drug market.</li>
<li>The real risk of Betta would be revealed in the next few years as VBP promotes. So, we are conservative about the Company’s outlook at the current stage.</li>
