On September 8, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Health Commission, and the State Food and Drug Administration jointly issued the Notice on Carrying out Pilot Work on Expanding Opening-up in the Medical Field (hereinafter referred to as the “Notice”). It is proposed to allow the establishment of wholly foreign-owned hospitals (except for traditional Chinese medicine, excluding mergers and acquisitions of public hospitals) in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hainan. This is undoubtedly a bold innovation to the existing healthcare system.

On September 9, the House of Representatives of the United States Congress returned from a summer break and immediately scheduled a series of legislative votes, including the draft Biosafety Act (H.R. 8333). The draft biosecurity law passed the House of Representatives with 306 votes in favor and 81 votes against, but the 70% support rate made it the most divisive draft bill in the same batch, and even narrowly fell below the “bottom line” of more than two-thirds of the votes to pass the bill. The draft Biosafety Act places five companies, including WuXi AppTec and WuXi Biologics, on the list of “biotechnology companies of concern” on the grounds of “national security”, and intends to restrict the use of funds, loans or subsidies from the United States government to cooperate with these companies. Unlike previous committees that voted in small groups, this time there were several members of the House ...
