Chervenak regularly contributes to international publications and speaks at industry conferences about China's pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. Chervenak believes that China is an ideal base for global biogenerics.[6] In an editorial, Chervenak wrote that China's low-cost, highly skilled technologists and scientists, a strong track record in life-science research, a high-quality talent pool of returnee overseas Chinese, advantageous regulations and tax policy, and China's entrepreneurial culture, all contribute to create a bright future for China's life sciences industry.[7] Even in the controversial case of intellectual property in the life sciences field in China, according to Chervenak, as long as foreign firms protect their IP in the most lucrative markets, it is usually not worth being overly concerned about violations in China, where the market is still small.[8]
