Could new US investment curbs complicate China’s biotech licensing surge?

·South China Morning Post·Impact 3/5 · Notable

The US Treasury Department has proposed new rules that could limit Chinese biotech firms' access to direct US investment or joint ventures. This move may complicate China's recent surge in biotech licensing agreements, as Chinese companies rely on foreign investment to fund their global expansion. The proposed rules could disrupt deal structures, making it harder for Chinese biotech firms to secure funding and partnerships. This could have significant implications for the global biotech industry, particularly if Chinese companies are forced to seek alternative funding sources.
