In recent years, a policy, “Made in China 2025”, has been implemented by China to improve its manufacturing level, medical products industry in particular. According to the Chinese government’s plan, by 2025, 70% of the medical equipment used by domestic public hospitals is aimed to be made in China, which will have a huge impact on imported medical equipment. In addition, from May 2015, the Chinese government started to charge a registration fee on the imported medical equipment and also makes the application on the extension of licenses much more difficult. Understanding this difficult situation, honorary Vice Chairman of UMC (NYSE:UMC, TWSE:2303), also the Chairman of Hukui Biotechnology Corporation, John Hsuan and Hukui Biotechnology Corporation together, invested over NT$50 million to build a factory with an area of 4,200 square meter, which meets the regulations of manufacturing medical instruments in Chongqing.

For the foreign medical equipment, this will be a quick access to enter into the Chinese market
