In 2018, Grand Pharmaceutical and CDH Investment made a bid of nearly 10 billion yuan to acquire the Australian company Sirtex. Their acquisition allowed them to introduce “Yttrium 90”, a liver cancer treatment drug, to China and attract extensive media coverage to the treatment project. During the exhibition, the project was once again at the center of attention. Many leaders, the public, and the media flocked to Grand Pharmaceutical’s booth in hopes of gaining a better understanding of the advanced technology and operating principle of the project. Many of the spectators urgently hoped that the project could be implemented in China as soon as possible so as to benefit the majority of liver cancer patients.
