We expect that Ms. Zhang's acute financial knowledge and Mr. Tong's diversified broad experience in the pharmaceutical industries, plus his in-depth understanding of the U.S. and Chinese business environment, will give us valuable operational oversight and further enhance our corporate governance program.
