The new coronary pneumonia's epidemic sounds the alarm of the world's biological safety, and also stepped on the throttle of the development of the biological industry and the development of the biological economy. Many countries have increased the investment in biotechnology and industry, and the biological economy led by biotechnology is accelerating. How can the biological economy help my country's economic recovery and national health? Deng Zhidong, general manager of Hainan Boao Medical Technology Co., Ltd., was interviewed by the cover journalist.

A few days ago, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" Biological Economic Development Plan (hereinafter referred to as "Plan").

The goal is in the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" period. my country ’s biotechnology and biological industry accelerate the development. The biological economy has become a strong driving force for promoting high -quality development, and the construction of biological safety risk prevention and control and governance system has been continuously strengthened.
