Foreign Media: China has declared war on Alzheimer's disease, with projections indicating that by 2050 the condition could affect 10% of the nation's population.

The government is now mobilizing top research institutions, major biotechnology companies, and dozens of experts to accelerate the development of original therapeutic drugs.
