The United States "bows its head": allows the import of a chemotherapy injection from Qilu Pharmaceutical, but there is a severe shortage of anti-cancer drugs in factories | Drug | United States

According to the Wall Street Journal website on June 3rd, the US Food and Drug Administration is relaxing regulations on importing certain chemotherapy drugs to address the shortage of anti-cancer drugs. The institution stated that it will allow Chinese pharmaceutical company Qilu Pharmaceutical to ship a chemotherapy injection called cisplatin to the United States, although the product has not yet been approved by the Drug Administration and the bottle is labeled in Chinese. The US Food and Drug Administration also announced on the 2nd that it will allow an Indian factory that has temporarily suspended production due to production violations to resume exporting certain anti-cancer drugs to the United States, as long as the latter meets conditions such as third-party certification of their quality. The institution stated that it will also flexibly increase the supply of other cisplatin products and chemotherapy drugs. ▲ Information image: Workers at the Jinan High tech Preparation Branch of Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd

Online live streaming to catch deadbeats... The court that was once "named" by the inspection team is now being "praised" by the public by the Supervisory Commission | Situation | Court

Online live streaming has other uses besides being able to promote sales. The People's Court of Yizhang County has won praise from both online and offline audiences through online live streaming. Two years ago, the Yizhang County Court was named by the inspection team as a typical example of slow action. This transformation stems from the implementation of the "monthly reminders," "seasonal surveys," and "annual portraits" supervision mechanism by the Discipline Inspection Commission and Supervision Commission of Yizhang County, using reminder cards as a lever to promote the implementation of the main responsibility for comprehensively and strictly governing the Party. From September to November 2020, the fourth level cross inspection team of counties and districts in Chenzhou City conducted a routine inspection of the Party group of the People's Court of Yizhang County, pointing out issues such as "there is a gap in implementing basic solutions to the problem of difficult execution", and highlighting specific manifestations of inaction and disorderly behavior. The County Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision attaches great importance to the prominent issues pointed out by the inspection, and the leaders of the committee who contact the department are responsible for the relevant responsibilities of the court
