China raises export requirements for medical supplies. Over 1 million RMB worth of PPE delayed at customs.
Ministry of Commerce researcher states, "This is in answer foreign intentions. We will see the consequences in the EU and US in a week"
(1 Apr) China's medical supplies exports received international criticism for its low quality. The Ministry of Commerce reacted by increasing the requirements for export. Starting from 1 April, all businesses must obtain registration certificates for exporting medical supplies. This includes testing kits and face masks.
Compared to previous requirements of only obtaining FDA certification from the US or CE certification from the EU, the new conditions for export are more stringent.
A businessman who manufactures PPE in Shandong said that he has over 1 mil RMB worth of PPE currently held in customs. He expects the inspection report to take 10 to 15 days, after which he can ship the goods. However, it will have already violated some terms in the contracts between him and his foreign buyers.
He believes that due to the previous lack of monitoring and quality control, the government is now responding to international criticism with the new rules, "We (China) used to export to America and Europe with FDA and CE (certifications). But after obtaining these certifications, some manufacturers went on to create products below certification standards."
Mei Xinyu, a Ministry of Commerce researcher, stressed that raising export requirements was in answer to international intentions and a self-defence mechanism. "You [US and EU] did not use our products according to instructions. Without even checking them yourselves, you blame Chinese products for everything. We want to use China’s production capability to save lives and do good. We have no interest in being smeared for helping others. Per your request, we are tightening our controls (to export requirements)."
He added, "In a week, let's see what consequences you people in the EU and US will face for airing your troublesome opinions. The Chinese government puts the lives of Chinese people first. Yet, in the EU and US, politicians, media and public opinion simply disregard the lives of their people. Then, you want to talk about human rights issues in China. Just shut your mouths!"

Proposal to remove milk powder from the list of China Cross border e-Commerce triggered controversies, Yili: Foreign milk powder lacks regulations becoming potential risks in market
(23 May) Li Cuizhi, a Chinese National People’s Congress (NPC) members as well as the director of Yili Group’s (China's market-leading diary products) testing and quality control centre, proposed to remove baby formula from the list of China Cross border e-Commerce. Her proposal triggered controversies, as there is a clash of interest. Yili Group responded that Cross border e-Commerce is not subjected to strict registration and customs inspection, so there are potential quality risks and harmful to the milk formula market in China. Yili Group believed that the unregulated milk formulas can enter China through Cross border e-Commerce, posting potential safety concerns.
However, analysts pointed out that to a certain extent, cross-border e-commerce can handle the quality problems by cooperating with flagship shops. Buying milk formula through cross-border e-commerce can satisfy consumers and trade balance. Besides, to revitalise “Made in China” milk formulas, restoring consumers’ confidence is a better way than relying on policies.

身兼內地奶企伊利集團檢測控制中心主任的全國人大代表李翠枝,提案建議從跨境電商名單中剔除嬰幼兒奶粉,引發爭議,被批評有利益衝突。伊利集團回應指,跨境電商奶粉不接受嚴格的配方注冊和海關檢驗,存在產品質量風險,亦有損中國配方奶粉市場的公平機制,認為缺乏監管的奶粉,通過跨境電商的渠道進入國內,成為奶粉市場安全隱患。
