China taking steps to clean up counterfeits...

China's pharmaceutical watchdog, State Food & Drug Administration, has launched a six-month nationwide campaign to clean up pharmaceutical and medical device makers.

Plans include enhanced supervision of license applications, production, distribution and use of drugs, vaccines and medical equipment. Violators found giving misleading information in their license applications would be blacklisted and publicly named. Those with inadequate management, illegal production and potential risks to the safety of drugs in production would be punished. Ed. note--From what we understand, some counterfeit operations are actually run by local government officials and contribute to the low unemployment rate in some provinces. The SFDA has a tough task ahead, but must prove to the global market their products are safe.
