Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, has met with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss a drug discovery partnership. The foundation is investing $50 million into the Global Health Drug Discovery Institute, which focuses on developing new drugs for infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and malaria. Gates said that China, which has made significant gains in reducing poverty and improving health outcomes, could play a bigger role in addressing the current challenges, particularly those facing African countries. The visit comes after other prominent tech leaders, such as Elon Musk and Tim Cook, visited China.
