<li>The scale of SVB is small, but it cannot be said that it has no impact on the fundamentals of China healthcare companies. Investors need to reassess the potential risks.</li>
<li>SVB’s woes would not be a serious blow to the US if government takes timely action. However, if BRICS currency is established, it would be real fatal for the dollar.</li>
