A US-based biotech VC told @damiangarde: "you can spend $10 million on a best-in-class drug from China, or you can hire 25 people in the US & pay them some $40 million over 3 years to get to the exact same point. In general, going with China works out to a roughly 50% cost savings, he said, meaning the same monetary investment can fund double the work."
