It aims to develop a number of famous health services enterprises with sustainable growth by year 2020, which can compete effectively in the international market. The total size of the country's health industry is expected to increase to more than RMB 8 trillion then. Moreover, the government should encourage the development of comprehensive health insurance services by creating a platform to facilitate the cooperation between insurance companies and medical, body-check and healthcare service providers. In order to firmly grasp opportunities arising in the market, the Group is vigorously driving the development of its healthcare services platform and strives to create the 'Green Healthcare Channel' and a nationwide cloud-based platform for healthcare information management system known as the 'Cloud Healthcare Platform'. We will combine them with premier leisure facilities such as Bayhood No.9 Club and supreme facilities such as Beijing Health Preservation Si He Yuan and Hotel to create a comprehensive health preservation and retirement services network so that our members can enjoy one-stop health management services. Recently, we entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with China-Japan Friendship Hospital. We will leverage on the hospital's international, professional and high-standard medical support services to provide our members quality healthcare services from the hospital's specialists through the 'Green Healthcare Channel'. Through the strategic partnership with China Life (Overseas), we can extend our value chain to insurance operations. We can also tap into its extensive sales, marketing channels and customer databases to reach its customers. China Life (Overseas)'s customers have the exact target customer profile of our Cloud Healthcare Platform. These strategic moves allow us to deliver more comprehensive and superior services to customers, to grow health preservation and retirement services bigger and stronger, thereby delivering more value to shareholders."
