We are taking actions to optimize our business structure, including engaging strategic partners, exiting unprofitable product lines as well as selling underperforming businesses, said Mr. Tiewei Song, Chief Executive Officer and President of BOQI International Medical Inc. BIMI is currently focusing on deeper penetration of the southwest market and has established a pharmacy chain in Chongqing, the biggest city in the southwest region.
