<li>Benefiting from changes in pandemic prevention policies and favorable reimbursement policy support, TCM injections market would end its years of continuous decline and enter a period of rapid growth again.</li>
<li>After Novo Nordisk acquires Catalent, China CXOs would be less likely to obtain the global GLP-1 orders. As MNCs rethink supply chain issues, China CXOs would face more challenges.</li>
<li>Against the backdrop of anti-corruption/import substitution, investment logic of United Imaging is solid. However, the biggest issue is high valuation. Fundamentals're difficult to support more than RMB100 billion market value.</li>

Benefiting from changes in pandemic prevention policies and favorable reimbursement policy support, TCM injections market would end its years of continuous decline and enter a period of rapid growth again.
After Novo Nordisk acquires Catalent, China CXOs would be less likely to obtain the global GLP-1 orders. As MNCs rethink supply chain issues, China CXOs would face more challenges.
Against the backdrop of anti-corruption/import substitution, investment logic of United Imaging is solid. However, the biggest issue is high valuation. Fundamentals're difficult to support more than RMB100 billion market value.
