China - managing the complexity China's NMPA continues frequent and incremental updates to regulations and practice. Clinical data remain at the forefront of regulatory review, with clinical trials mandated unless formally exempted, and a very cautious opening of the door to international clinical trial data.

We take a look at the latest developments in the Middle Kingdom and why strategy with flexibility is key to success. Jenny Lin, Brandwood CKC |
