What 3SBio does

Chinese biopharma company making biologics including erythropoietin (EPO) and other injectable drugs, parent of Sunshine Guojian.

Sells legacy biologics such as TPIAO, a platelet-boosting drug, and EPO through hospitals in China, and these long-established products carry current earnings. Out-licensing is the newer line: in 2025 it gave Pfizer rights outside China to a cancer antibody drug in exchange for upfront and milestone payments.

In one line: A Chinese Amgen-scale biologics maker.
