This also fully proves that, with the support of the country's full chain of innovative drug policies, the world's first innovative drug originating in China has strong and sustainable market vitality. At the same time, doglitin successfully landed in Hong Kong, China and Macau, China, officially embarking on an internationalization journey with Greater China as a hub and radiating the Southeast Asian and Spanish and Portuguese markets. China's original research and innovation drugs began to participate deeply in the global metabolic disease treatment market. Facing the future, the company will adhere to the homeostasis regulation of blood sugar as the foundation, promote a new pattern of homeostatic treatment of diabetes with a new generation of long-term GKA, fixed compound formulations and combined medications, build a human energy metabolism health pipeline matrix covering disease prevention, special diabetes, fatty liver disease and fatty hepatitis, cognitive impairment and weakness, and use artificial intelligence technology to continue to broaden the clinical boundaries and application scenarios of the blood sugar homeostasis technology platform to benefit patients with metabolic diseases at home and abroad.”
