11月28日上午，在2021亚洲青年领袖论坛“健康医疗与公益慈善”主题论坛中，广药集团董事长李楚源发表了题为《融入“双循环”新发展格局，助力构建人类卫生健康共同体》的主旨演讲。

全文如下：

各位来宾、女士们、先生们：

大家上午好！

很荣幸参加亚洲青年领袖论坛“健康医疗与公益慈善”主题论坛，与各位相聚在美丽的花城广州，一起交流疫情时代亚洲健康产业与公益慈善工作。

近年来，亚洲国家深入推动区域经济一体化，协力促进经济社会发展，推动亚洲成为全球经济最具活力和增长潜力的地区。去年以来，突如其来的新冠疫情，对人民生活、社会发展、世界经济都产生了深远的影响。无论是战胜疫情还是疫后经济恢复，都需要各国各界守望相助、风雨同舟。尤其是与人民群众生命健康切身相关的医药健康行业，亟待于危机中育新机，于变局中开新局。我认为，当前医药健康行业发展呈现以下几个新的特点：

第一、健康消费需求与日俱增，新冠肺炎疫情使社会对疾病与健康的观念发生了很大的转变。有调研显示，93%的受访者认为人生中最重要的就是身体健康，70%的受访者认为新冠疫情改变了大家的生命观，目前人们的健康管理观念已经从以治疗为主转向治未病。在本次疫情中，中国为世界提出了中西医结合的抗疫方案，国内新冠死亡率为0.4/100000，为全球最低。中药在降低轻症转重症几率、危重病亡率的预防方面卓有成效，能助力快速搭建起更加经济、高效的预防屏障。如广药集团根据国医大师的处方发挥中药芳香辟秽、化浊解毒的优势，开发了中药防疫香囊，短短几个月卖出了近100万个。

第二、技术变革推动新旧动能的转换。伴随着第四次工业革命的浪潮，数字经济在疫情之下逆势增长，为我们加快商业模式创新带来一次前所未有的发展机遇。广药集团充分利用互联网平台，在广州“穗康”微信小程序创造性提出了“网约口罩，快递到家”的模式以及“线上购药，24小时配送”的服务。目前正把“穗康健康生活”板块打造成为覆盖药品、医疗器械、保健品、食品等的大健康消费平台。今年 “5·21”广州的疫情，我们的配送专车、我们的无人机把药直接送到芳村等封闭的区域也大受欢迎。

第三、更高水平的开放，彰显人类命运共同体的理念。即使面对世界的疫情，我国也始终坚持主动向世界开放市场。据世界贸组织数据，上半年我国出口国际市场的份额同比提升0.9%个百分点至14.6%。进口国际市场份额同比提升0.7%个百分点至12%，贡献了全球15%的进口增量。我们作为企业也积极作为，疫情发生至今，广药集团先后向印尼、伊朗、贝宁、肯尼亚、斐济等国家捐赠防疫物资。在新冠疫情深刻冲击世界经济的大背景下，我国提出了加快形成内循环为主，国内国际双循环互相促进的新路径。本届论坛在此背景下召开，我相信将为促进亚洲各国的合作，加强与世界对话发挥积极的作用。

今年是中国共产党成立100周年，习近平总书记在庆祝大会的讲话中表示：“中国共产党将继续同一切爱好和平的国家和人民一道，弘扬和平、发展、公平、正义、民主、自由的全人类共同价值，坚持合作、不搞对抗，坚持开放、不搞封闭，坚持互利共赢、不搞零和博弈，反对霸权主义和强权政治，推动历史车轮向着光明的目标前进。”

我有幸受邀参加中国共产党成立100周年大会，并在现场聆听了习近平总书记的重要讲话。这次中国共产党成立100周年庆祝大会是一次亮点频出，多个“首次”的百年庆典活动。例如：首次评选颁授党内最高荣誉的“七一”勋章；首次在天安门广场举行；共有各界代表7万余人参加；首次出现青少年献词；体现党对青年一代的重视。15架歼-20飞机组成3个梯队亮相，是歼-20首次以如此大规模飞过天安门广场。习近平总书记庄严宣告:“我们在中华大地上全面建成了小康社会，正在意气风发向着全面建成社会主义现代化强国的第二个百年奋斗目标迈进。”所以要读懂中国也要读懂中国共产党百年的历史。国际社会热烈祝贺中国共产党建立100周年，多国政党政要和友好人士高度评价中国共产党带领中国人民站起来、富起来、强起来的伟大成就，坚信中国共产党在习近平总书记的带领下将开启下一个百年的辉煌新征程。大道不孤，德必有邻。中国人民热爱和平，中国企业倡导合作共赢，我们积极推动构建人类命运共同体，为维护世界和平积极贡献中国智慧、中国方案。

不久前，中国共产党召开了十九届六中全会，审议通过了《中共中央关于党的百年奋斗重大成就和历史经验的决议》，全面总结了中国共产党的百年奋斗重大成就和历史经验。决议包含了我国创造经济快速发展奇迹的秘诀，其中就包括坚持发展是硬道理、坚持对外开放、坚持把创新作为引领发展的第一动力。中国人民正满怀信心在全面建设社会主义现代化国家新征程上前行。

7月以来，我也连续召开38场专题报告会，学习习近平总书记“七一”讲话和十九届六中全会精神，研究如何加强国际化的发展，融入“双循环”新发展格局的措施，制定了广药后500强时代“四六八”的工作举措，努力争当学习宣传贯彻习近平总书记重要讲话精神的表率；争当弘扬伟大建党精神的表率；争当高质量发展的表率；争当推动乡村振兴的表率；争当建设粤港澳大湾区的表率；争当建设健康中国、健康亚洲的表率。我相信中国的发展将为亚洲以及世界提供更多机遇，注入强劲动力。昨天是开幕式，开幕式之后广州市委市政府专门举办了一个见面会，我看很多亚洲的青年领袖认为广州的发展充满着机会，会后有很多人跟我们广药集团深入探讨，加强合作。

近年来，广药集团扎根于广州这块创新与开发的沃土，紧抓全球化和建设“一带一路”的发展机遇，不断加快国际化的步伐，开展了系列创新的探索。广药集团是全球首家以中药为主业进入世界500强的企业，排名2021年财富世界500强榜单第468位，利润排名第390位。世界经济论坛主席施瓦布、沃博联、百特等发来了300多封贺信。如今，广药集团已经形成了时尚中药、创新化药、生物医药、商业物流、医药养大医疗等五大特色产品，在走出去的实施路径上，包括科研国际化、产业国际化、文化国际化。

科研方面，近年亚洲地区生物制药已经逐步从单纯的制造转向研发，广药集团先后引进3名诺贝尔奖得主，21名国内院士及国医大师以及超百名博士及博士后，建成了10个国家级科研平台。其中广药研究总院是“国家犬类实验动物的资源库”，拥有创新药物研发的“芯片式”的资源。

产业方面，亚洲是我们最重要的海外市场，中国与亚洲诸国或国土相连，或一衣带水人文相亲，亚洲众多地区有使用汉方药的传统和习惯。早在上世纪初期，王老吉随着华人华侨远销到南洋各地，如今王老吉凉茶已经出口到全球150个国家和地区。刚才宋院士讲到林则徐，王老吉的名字就是林则徐起的，在1828年当时叫阿吉凉茶，1838年林则徐把它改名为王老吉。广药白云山华佗再造丸已经连续10多年位居中国中成药出口第一名，并进入韩国、越南等多个国家的医保。

近年来，我们积极倡议建设“一带一路”，与亚洲一同追求发展，崇尚共赢，传递希望。粤港澳大湾区是“一带一路”建设的重要支撑，广药集团积极融入粤港澳大湾区建设，在澳门青洲跨境工业区建设的工厂已建成投产。本次论坛指定礼品广药牌灵芝孢子油已经在澳门上市，澳门版的白云山板蓝根有望成为澳门中药立法后首批获得中药批文的品种。我们希望通过澳门桥头堡的作用，带动更多名优中成药产品服务亚洲人民、世界人民。

文化方面，中华文化源远流长，汉唐以后，儒家思想等中国传统文化逐步在亚洲传播，成为璀璨的亚洲文明的重要组成部分。广药集团一直以来以开放的姿态与世界对话，拥抱世界，在美国纽约建成了首家海外王老吉博物馆，并启动了王老吉凉茶项目，正计划在全球建56个王老吉凉茶博物馆。我们在广药白云山路建设的神农草堂中药博物馆已接待海外游客200多万人，目前正扩建成为岭南中药博物馆5A级的景区，向世界讲好中药故事。广药集团以“广药白云山，爱心满人间”为企业理念，“济世为怀”一直是广药集团文化内核之一。多年来向海内外捐赠超过10亿元，坚持18年开展家庭过期药品免费回收，并创下了吉尼斯世界纪录。疫情期间，广药集团率先提出不停工、不提价、保证产品质量、保证公益至上的承诺，全力保障药品供应向海内外捐赠抗疫物资超过2000万元。

中国有句古话叫做“志合者，不以山海为远”。本次论坛为亚洲各国家的青年才俊、精英对话交流提供了重要平台，在当前形势下恰逢其时，意义重大深远。广药集团正全力打造独具产业特色，文化鲜明的世界一流生物医药与健康企业，我们期待与亚洲各国、各科研机构、各企业加强合作，努力为提升人类健康水平，降低医疗费用，为亚洲经济高质量发展及人类命运共同体建设贡献广药力量。

最后，请大家多喝桌面上广药生产的刺柠吉，它是维C之王。祝大家身体健康、吉祥如意。

谢谢大家！


On 28 November, Li Chuyuan, chairman of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Holdings Ltd. (GPG), delivered a keynote speech titled “Implementing the New Dual-Circulation Development Paradigm for the Building of a Global Community of Health for All” at the Health, Medical and Charity Forum of the Asia Youth Leaders Forum 2021.

The full speech is as below.

Dear guests, ladies, and gentlemen, 

Good morning!

I'm honored to attend the Health, Medical and Charity Forum of the Asia Youth Leaders Forum in this beautiful City of Flowers, Guangzhou, and exchange views with you on the health industry and charity in Asia during the pandemic.

In recent years, Asian countries have been promoting regional economic integration, boosting economic and social development, and driving Asia to become the region with the most economic vitality and growth potential in the world. Since last year, the sudden COVID-19 outbreak has had far-reaching influence on people's lives, social development, and the global economy. Be it the fight against the pandemic or post-pandemic recovery, people from different countries all need to stand together and help each other through thick and thin. In particular, the medicine and health industry, which is closely related to people's lives and health, urgently needs to discover new opportunities amid the crisis and seek new development from the changes. I believe the current development of the medicine and health industry has the following new features:

Firstly, demand of health-related consumption is increasing with each passing day. The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly changed the whole society's perception of illnesses and health. A survey shows that 93% of respondents believe that health is the most important thing in their life and 70% of respondents believe that the pandemic has changed people's views on lives. Currently, people's health management concept has changed from treatment of diseases to preventive care. During the pandemic, China proposed to the world the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine to combat the disease. China's COVID-19 death rate is 4 per million people, the lowest in the world. Traditional Chinese medicine has been very effective in preventing mild cases from turning to severe cases and preventing critical-ill patients from dying. It can help rapidly build a more economical and efficient preventive guard. For example, according to the prescription given by veteran practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, we have developed anti-pandemic Chinese herbal sachets, using the fragrance of Chinese medicine to eliminate filth and remove poison. Within just a few months, one million sachets were sold.

Secondly, technological reform drives the old momentum into a new one. With the dawn of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the digital economy continued to grow during the pandemic, bucking the trend of a global recession and bringing an unprecedented developmental opportunity for the innovation of our business model. By making full use of the internet, we developed the model of "online mask reservation and home delivering" and the service of "online medicine purchase with 24-hour delivery" in the Suikang mini app on WeChat. Currently, we are building the section of Suikang Healthy Life into a grand health consumption platform covering medicine, medical appliances, dietary supplements, food, and so on. During the May 21 pandemic in Guangzhou, our delivery vehicles and UAVs delivered medicine directly to Fangcun and other quarantine areas, which was very popular.

Thirdly, higher-degree opening up reflects the idea of building a community with a shared future for mankind. Facing the global pandemic, China has always taken the initiative to open its market to the world. According to statistics from WTO, in the first half of 2021, China's exports increased by 0.9 percentage points than a year earlier to 14.6 percent, and imports increased by 0.7 percentage points on a year-on-year basis to 12 percent, contributing to 15 percent of the global increase in imports. We, as an enterprise, have played an active role, too. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, our group has donated anti-pandemic materials to Indonesia, Iran, Benin, Kenya, Fiji, and other countries. While the COVID-19 pandemic was having a profound impact on the world economy, China proposed a new approach, that is, to accelerate the transition to a "dual-circulation" development paradigm in which the domestic and overseas markets reinforce each other with the domestic market as the mainstay. As this forum is held in this context, I believe it will play an active role in promoting cooperation between Asian countries and enhancing dialogue with the world.

This year marks the centenary of the Communist Party of China. At the ceremony, General Secretary Xi Jinping said, "The party will continue to work with all peace-loving countries and peoples to promote the shared human values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom. We will continue to champion cooperation over confrontation, to open up rather than closing our doors, and to focus on mutual benefits instead of zero-sum games. We will oppose hegemony and power politics, and strive to keep the wheels of history rolling toward bright horizons."

I was honored to be invited to the celebration of the centenary of the Communist Party of China and listen to General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech on site. The ceremony was a centenary celebration with many highlights and firsts. For example, the July 1 Medal, the highest award given to CPC members, was bestowed for the first time. The ceremony was held at Tiananmen Square for the first time, where a total of over 70,000 representatives from all walks of life took part. There was the congratulatory address from youth representatives for the first time, which showed that the party attaches importance to the younger generation. 15 J-20 fighter jets forming three fleets flew over Tiananmen Square, which was the first time on such a large scale. General Secretary Xi Jinping declared that China has built a moderately prosperous society in all respects and that we are now marching in confident stride toward the second centenary goal of building China into a great, modern socialist country in all respects. To know about China, one needs to know about the century-long history of the Communist Party of China. The international community warmly congratulated the centenary of the Communist Party of China and political-party leaders and friends from many countries spoke highly of the great achievements the CPC has made in leading the Chinese people to stand up, grow prosperous, and become strong. We firmly believe that the Communist Party of China under the leadership of General Secretary Xi Jinping will begin a brilliant new journey for the next hundred years. We are not alone on this great journey. Chinese people love peace, and Chinese enterprises advocate win-win cooperation. We will play an active role in promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind and contribute Chinese wisdom and Chinese approaches to safeguarding world peace.

Not long ago, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China examined and approved the “Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party over the Past Century”, which is a full review of our party's major achievements and historical experience over the past century. The Resolution contains China's secrets of success in creating its first miracle of rapid economic growth, which includes adhering to the principle that only development counts, the policy of opening up, and the belief that innovation is the driving force for development. Chinese people are moving forward on the new journey of building a modern socialist country in all respects with full confidence.

Since July 2021, we have also held 38 symposiums to learn the essence of General Secretary Xi Jinping's July 1 speech and the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and study how to strengthen international development and measures to fit in the dual-circulation development pattern. We have formulated a "four, six, eight" work plan following our entry in the Fortune 500 list. We try to take the lead in learning, spreading, and implementing the essence of General Secretary Xi's important speeches, carrying forward the great spirit of the party’s founding, promoting high-quality development, facilitating rural revitalization, developing the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and building a healthy China and a healthy Asia. I believe that China's development will provide more opportunities and a strong driving force for Asia and the world. The opening ceremony of the forum was held yesterday. After the opening ceremony, the party committee and the government of Guangzhou held a meetup. I saw that many young leaders from Asia believe that Guangzhou is full of developmental opportunities. After the meeting, many of them discussed with us in depth to strengthen cooperation.

In recent years, we are keeping a foothold in Guangzhou, this fertile land for innovation and development, and grasping the developmental opportunities of globalization and the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative. We have continuously accelerated the pace of our globalization and carried out a series of innovative explorations. As the world's first traditional Chinese medicine enterprise that entered the Fortune 500 list, we ranked 468th on the list and 390th in terms of profit in 2021. Executive Chairman Schwab of the World Economic Forum, Walgreens Boots Alliance, Baxter, and others have sent over 300 congratulatory letters. At present, we have developed five categories of distinctive products covering fashionable TCM, innovative chemical medicine, biomedicine, business logistics, and grand medical care of medicine and recuperation. Our approaches to going global include the globalization of scientific research, industry, and culture.

In terms of scientific research, in recent years, the focus of the biopharmaceutical industry in Asia has turned to research and development from pure medicine making. We have brought in three Nobel Prize winners, 21 domestic academicians and TCM veterans, and over 100 doctoral and post-doctoral researchers and built 10 national scientific research platforms. The Guangzhou General Pharmaceutical Research Institute is the national resource center of laboratory canines, which has “chip-like” resources for innovative medicine research and development.

In terms of the industry, Asia is our most important overseas market. China and other Asian countries are either neighbors bordering each other or separated by only a strip of water. Sharing a natural bond of affinity, many regions in Asia have the tradition and habit of using traditional Chinese medicine. In the early 20th century, Wanglaoji Herbal Tea was sold to nanyang by overseas Chinese. Nowadays, Wanglaoji Herbal Tea is exported to 150 countries and regions. Academician Song just mentioned Lin Zexu. Actually, the name Wanglaoji was given by Lin Zexu. In 1828, the herbal tea was called Aji Herbal Tea. In 1838, Lin Zexu changed the name to Wanglaoji Herbal Tea. The medicine Hua Tuo Restorative Pills has been the No.1 exported Chinese patent medicine for over 10 consecutive years, and has been included in the coverage of medical insurance in a few countries such as South Korea and Vietnam.

In recent years, we have played an active role in advocating the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, pursued development with other Asian countries, advocated mutual benefit, and delivered hope. The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is an important support for the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative. We actively contribute into the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and the factory in the Cross-Border Industrial Zone in Qingzhou, Macao, has been built and put into operation. The Ganoderma Lucidum Spore Oil is on the market in Macao. Baiyunshan Isatis Root Granule produced in Macao is expected to be among the first group of approved traditional Chinese medicine after Macao passes the law on traditional Chinese medicine. We hope to make use of Macao's role as a bridgehead in providing more quality Chinese patent medicine for the people of Asia and the world.

In terms of culture, as Chinese culture has a long history, after the Han and Tang dynasties, traditional Chinese culture, especially Confucianism, gradually spread in Asia, becoming an important part of the brilliant Asian civilization. We have always been open to dialogue with the world and embracing the world. We established the first overseas Wanglaoji Herbal Tea Museum in New York, USA, and launched the Wanglaoji Herbal Tea project. We plan to establish 56 such museums across the world. The Shennong Cottage TCM Museum built on Guangyao Baiyunshan Road has received over two million overseas tourists. Currently it is being expanded into a 5-A scenic spot of Lingnan TCM Museum, to tell good TCM stories to the world. The philosophy of our company is developing the brand of Baiyunshan and caring for the world. Helping the world has always been one of our core cultural values. Over the years, we have donated over one billion yuan at home and abroad. We have recycled expired medicine for 18 years, setting a Guinness World Record in the process. During the pandemic, we took the lead in promising not to stop production, not to raise prices, to guarantee product quality, and to put the public good first, so as to ensure medicine supply. We have donated anti-pandemic materials worth over 20 million yuan at home and abroad.

In China, there is an old saying, "Nothing, not even mountains and oceans, can separate people with shared goals and vision." This forum provides young talent from Asian countries an important exchange platform, which came at the right time in the current situation, and has profound meaning. We are doing our best to build a world-class biomedical and health enterprise with unique industrial features and distinctive culture. We expect to enhance cooperation with Asian countries, scientific research institutions, and enterprises; work hard to improve the wellbeing of all people; reduce medical treatment costs; and contribute to the high-quality economic development of Asia and the construction of a community with a shared future for all mankind. 

Finally, I wish you all health and good luck. Thank you!
