11:28 Conclusion
Half of all the new medicines entering patient trials anywhere on earth now start in a Chinese laboratory. Big Pharma worked that out years ago. In front of journalists, they still say China is about ten years off being a serious rival.
Across the industry, more than 300 billion dollars of prescription sales lose protection before 2030. Inventing a replacement costs around 2.2 billion dollars and takes close to eight years. So they stopped inventing and started shopping.
In this video I explain how far this has already gone and why the same treatment can cost 475,000 dollars in the United States and 140,000 in China.
