Despite escalating US regulatory scrutiny and geopolitical tensions, Chinese biotech firms continue to secure significant licensing deals with US buyers, with deal values and volumes growing substantially in 2026. Chinese biotech CEOs remain confident, citing strong market demand and faster, cheaper drug development as key advantages.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

US regulatory pressure on Chinese biotech is increasing but hasn’t stopped deal flow; you in biotech must treat US interest as resilient while preparing for slower deal cycles. China’s cost advantage and demand signal a durable opportunity despite political noise.
