China has been playing an increasingly important role in global health in recent decades. Substantial progress and reform has been made in the country's health care system, but China still hosts one third of the world's diabetes mellitus (DM) patients and one fifth of the world's tuberculosis (TB) patients. Recent economic and public health advancements have provided tools for new drug development and facilitated the implementation of novel strategies. However, a unique set of challenges exist, including regulatory barriers, ethical concerns and the lack of a unified system and approaches across disease areas. This article analyses the current disease situation in China and discusses China's potential role in the global battle against the TB and DM co-epidemic.
