"Chinese medicine capital" is hard to cure

"If the medicine is less than camphor trees, the medicine will not work." Zhangshu City, Jiangxi Province is known as the "Millennium drug capital" Recently, the 44th national drug trade fair of camphor trees was officially awarded "China drug capital" by China Association of traditional Chinese medicine However, according to the reporter's investigation, almost costless fake deer antler wax tablets are sold as genuine products with a cost of more than 60000 yuan per kilogram, and the quality of "Liuwei Dihuang Pill" is 20 times better than that of "Liuwei Dihuang Pill" In recent years, the gold lettered signboard of "drug capital" has been repeatedly harassed by the illegal elements of manufacturing and selling fake drugs from all over the country For this reason, Zhangshu City, while increasing its efforts to crack down on cases, finds that counterfeiters are often hidden in the regular market outside the province, hard to crack down on, and some enterprises in other places are registered "near" Zhangshu's wanton forgery and hard to trace, which makes it difficult to crack down on It has been more than 1800 years since the "golden signboard" was "defaced" by Zhangshu pharmaceutical industry The famous "Zhangshu pharmaceutical Gang" was formed here Through the efforts of pharmaceutical agents and dealers, camphor Chinese medicine has gained a high reputation, especially the excellent processing of traditional Chinese medicine at home and abroad However, the glittering signboard of "Millennium drug capital" has also become the coveted target of the lawbreakers who manufacture and sell fake and inferior medicines In the first half of this year, under the unified deployment of the Ministry of public security, Zhangshu police cracked three cases of manufacturing and selling fake drugs, detained nine people, involving more than 10 kinds of fake drugs, more than 20 kinds of health products, and the total value of the cases reached more than 1.5 million yuan After investigation, Wang Mou, the criminal suspect, together with others, began to rent houses and hire workers in Zhangshu City from the beginning of March this year Without any qualification permission, he wantonly produced fake drugs and all kinds of fake health care products, and sold them to all parts of the country through the Internet and telephone However, compared with the local counterfeiting dens investigated by camphor tree, it is more common for camphor tree to be counterfeited in the name of camphor tree or to flow counterfeit drugs into camphor tree "Some Chinese Herbal Pieces enterprises have no anti-counterfeiting technology in their external packaging, so they can easily find a printing factory to copy them." Huang Xiaojian, deputy director of the Inspection Bureau of Jiangxi food and drug administration, told reporters that from January to September this year, there were 425 cases of traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese Herbal Pieces filed and dealt with by the drug administration of Jiangxi Province, including 212 cases involving "Zhangshu City", many of which were produced in the name of fake Zhangshu Chinese Herbal Pieces Factory The counterfeiters simply processed the purchased inferior medicinal materials, and then put them into imitation The outer packaging of is sold on the market "Counterfeiting enterprises play the brand of pharmaceutical capital If Zhangshu is a good brand, he will build a" fake version "of that brand, which is fatal to Zhangshu and even the whole Chinese pharmaceutical industry." Gong Qianfeng, a professor at Jiangxi University of traditional Chinese medicine, said that in the market of traditional Chinese medicine, black leeches used for medicine are replaced by asphalt, and pangolins used for medicine are counterfeited with pig's hooves Some people said that "Chinese medicine is black, and immortals don't recognize it." Yan Zhangfa, deputy investigator of Zhangshu Municipal Drug Administration, thinks that the reputation of "Millennium drug capital" is bad for the forgery of outsiders, and Zhangshu has become the biggest victim If it can not be fundamentally reversed, it will cause a devastating blow to Zhangshu There is no doubt that the profit chain derived from the manufacture and sale of counterfeit drugs is the root cause of the phenomenon of the manufacture and sale of counterfeit drugs According to the reporter's investigation, a complex chain of interests has been formed behind the production and sales of fake drugs, and the huge profits generated by them can be up to dozens of times "After starch is mixed with glue, it is wrapped with animal fur, steamed, and then cut into pieces, which becomes a fake 'Velvet wax piece'." Yan Zhangfa told reporters that at last year's Zhangshu pharmaceutical trade fair, they seized a case involving more than 3 million yuan in sales of counterfeit pilose antler wax tablets Two northeast people took the opportunity of the drug trade fair to sell the fake pilose antler wax tablets as genuine products of more than 60000 yuan per kilogram Their huge profits can be said to be "nothing" According to the personnel involved, the source of the fake pilose antler wax tablet is a fake manufacturing dens near a regular ginseng antler market in the northeast In the local area, the counterfeit manufacturing groups have formed a complete industrial chain from the production to sales of fake drugs, with strict internal division of labor and illegal profits at all levels At the same time, a small number of administrative law enforcement officers in some places are likely to get a piece of it Yan Zhangfa said that this year, Zhangshu Municipal Drug Administration received two letters from the national health and Family Planning Commission, involving dozens of enterprises "Zhangshu" in the manufacture and sale of fake and inferior medical supplies As a result, in the first investigation, the vast majority of illegal enterprises are in other provinces, not only the registered address is false, but also the batch number and connection method are false "Some intermediary agencies in the field can easily register in different places by buying the internal personnel of relevant functional departments." Yan Zhangfa said that in some places, even clearly marked prices, for thousands or tens of thousands of yuan, you can register a company, and "bang" the name of camphor tree, and then use it as a cover to make and sell fake goods From illegal intermediaries to "insiders" of functional departments, and then to the production and sales layer by layer for profit, a huge black "interest chain" has emerged behind the fake drugs, while the reputation of "Millennium drug city" has been innocently damaged "There is no ceiling for the profiteering of fake and inferior drugs, but the signboard of drug capital can't stand the tossing." Zhou Yixiang, deputy director of Zhangshu pharmaceutical Bureau, said that taking the most common Chinese patent medicine "Liuwei Dihuang Pill" as an example, it may cost 200 yuan to use the best medicine, but it may only cost 10 yuan to use the inferior medicine to produce the same amount of patent medicine It is urgent for Zhangshu to realize the urgency of maintaining the reputation of "pharmaceutical capital" because of the interference of fake and inferior medicinal materials To this end, at the drug fair, which opened on the 16th, Zhangshu integrated all forces and took measures to strengthen the fight against counterfeiting It is understood that the Organizing Committee of the fair has set up a group to crack down on counterfeits, and dispatched personnel from drug supervision, industry and commerce, public security and other departments to take the measures of publicity and education, prevention of blocking, search for dens, and attack with heavy fists It has carried out continuous inspection and supervision on Exhibition Center booths, peripheral booths, Chinese medicine stores and health care products business stores to crack down on counterfeit and inferior drugs In daily supervision, through years of exploration, Zhangshu has established a three-level linkage monitoring network of municipal government, sub District Office (township government) and community neighborhood committee (village committee), signed responsibility certificates at all levels, and strictly implemented the leadership accountability system "Through continuous crackdown on counterfeit drugs, the phenomenon of counterfeit drugs at the drug Fair has been curbed, and the local market has been purified However, it is not a matter of one day and one night to eradicate counterfeiting." As Zhou said, cracking down on counterfeits is a systematic project Only by improving the system and mechanism and strengthening the source control, can the brand of "thousand year drug capital" of Zhangshu be forever shining However, due to the concealment and trans regional characteristics of the manufacture and sale of counterfeit drugs, the crackdown still faces many problems "It is also necessary to establish a traceability system for traditional Chinese medicine products Once there is a problem, you can find out at any time which link is fake or adulterated." Cao LAN, an associate professor at the research center of traditional Chinese medicine resources and ethnic medicine of Jiangxi University of traditional Chinese medicine, believes that at present, the punishment of Chinese medicine counterfeiting by the state is still light, with more administrative penalties and less criminal penalties, which objectively makes some counterfeiters have fluke mentality According to Yan Zhangfa, some counterfeiting dens often hide in or near the regular market outside the province and adopt the method of "production on the same day and sales on the same day", and once circulated, they will spread everywhere and face difficulties in obtaining evidence; some places do not strictly control the registration of companies or even "collusion inside and outside" has become an obstacle to combat For this reason, Yan Zhangfa believes that in order to fundamentally put an end to the counterfeiting of traditional Chinese medicine, it is necessary to "unify the whole country and the whole country", to combine multiple departments, to take the method of "both fighting and prevention, and combining dredging and blocking", not only to strengthen the monitoring of the source of planting production, but also to control the registration of the production and sales enterprises, and to prevent the trouble before it happens through dynamic management.
