(CCTV News)Challenging the monopoly of Europe and America, Chinese and Indian manufacturers have laid out the track of diet pills. For some time, GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide -1) diet pills have caught fire in the United States and other western countries, and gradually marched into emerging markets. At present, two major pharmaceutical companies, Novo Nordisk in Denmark and Lilly in the United States, occupy most of the market share in the field of GLP-1 diet pills, but other pharmaceutical companies are also actively deploying the track. In 2026, Novo Nordisk's patent on smeagoutide will expire in China and India, while the patent on liraglutide, the main effective ingredient of the previous generation of GLP-1 diet pills, has expired in China and India. The industry believes that China and India, as two emerging markets, have a strong momentum of innovation and development in the pharmaceutical industry of both countries, and have great potential in the GLP-1 diet pills track. The entry of Chinese and Indian pharmaceutical companies will make the international competition in the field of GLP-1 diet pills more intense.

A number of A-share companies "lead wars for their children" and state-owned institutions have become important buyers. Recently, subsidiaries of a number of listed companies in the A-share market have increased their capital and shares in the hope of obtaining more financial support. According to the incomplete statistics of the Securities Times reporter, since November alone, more than 10 listed companies have issued relevant announcements on the introduction of strategic investors by subsidiaries, most of which are distributed in power equipment, pharmaceutical biology, basic chemical industry and other industries. It is worth noting that many of the strategic investors introduced by the subsidiaries of the above-mentioned enterprises are state-owned investment institutions. For this wave of "war-inducing" trend, people in the industry interviewed by reporters believe that due to the influence of relevant policies, listed companies have great resistance to spin-off and listing, which is an important reason for their subsidiaries to increase their capital and shares. Most of the targets that state-owned investment institutions choose to buy shares are new businesses or core businesses of hard-tech enterprises, which can not only ensure the safety of state-owned funds, but also obtain high premium returns in future IPO opportunities.The head of the South Korean Police Department was formally detained.
