Doing business in real estate or the finance sector in China may be the easiest way to earn money, but Yang Jianyu, chairman and chief executive officer of US-listed Concord Medical Services Holdings Ltd, chose to focus on the nation's healthcare service industry because he sees greater value in it.

Yang and his company joined hands with global leading investment company The Carlyle Group LP and US hospital MD Anderson Cancer Center to set up cancer treatment hospitals in China that will use multidisciplinary diagnosis and care to cure Chinese patients.
