China is a major developing country with a large population; however, there is a lack of epidemiological investigations detailing the prevalence or incidence of bronchiectasis. While we totally concur with the recommendations from European experts, we feel that additional priorities in bronchiectasis should be highlighted for future research in China.Aetiology, Chinese medicine, phenotyping, fertility and comorbidities of bronchiectasis should be studied in China http://ow.ly/tiJl304s5j0Author contributions: W.J.G., Y.H.G. and J.J.Y. drafted the manuscript; R.C.C. and N.S.Z. critically reviewed the manuscript and approved final submission.
