Description
Baoxu Ma and co-workers map how China licensed laboratory monkeys and other nonhuman primates over five recent years. Primates are used in medical research because their bodies are close to ours, and China runs a national license system for raising and using them. Their 2026 study pulls every license record from the national system for the years from twenty twenty to twenty twenty-four.
Most of the licenses covered use of primates rather than breeding them, and totals rose until one year then fell sharply. Beijing and Jiangsu led in use licenses, while breeding centered in Guangxi and Yunnan. Companies held most licenses, ahead of universities and research institutes. The map gives planners a clearer view of where this research capacity sits.
