(China Daily) Updated: 2016-08-02 08:11The China Food and Drug Administration has suspended online pharmacy business with immediate effect due to a lack of supervision.

"It's an extreme measure. It's the responsibility of the authorities to supervise the online business. Rules should be set in this sector."
