Chinese biopharma stocks rise as US may ease drug licensing restrictions with China

Chinese biopharma stocks surged in Hong Kong after reports that the US Treasury is drafting rules to allow American pharmaceutical companies to continue licensing most drugs from Chinese firms, excluding sensitive biotech related to pathogens. This proposed policy contrasts with tighter US restrictions on sectors like AI and semiconductors. Nearly half of US drug licensing deals in 2025 involved Chinese companies, highlighting the importance of this market. Despite geopolitical tensions, China's pharmaceutical sector is booming, with $110 billion in licensing deals in the first half of 2026, and the trend is expected to continue under China's five-year plan promoting globalization in biotech.

Chinese biopharma stocks are in focus as the US considers new drug licensing rules. For readers following health-sector stocks, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Sep 21, 2026 11:31 WIB: out of 92 priced US health-sector stocks, 48 rose and 44 fell.
