Livestream pill pushers risk to others

THERE ARE STRICT RULES regulating the production, sales and circulation of medicines. And guaranteeing drug safety is one of the government's top priorities. Yet it is not a secret that some livestream hosts sell "diet pills" on the internet. Guangming Daily comments:

The consumers directly wire money to the hosts, who send the medicines via express delivery to the consumers directly. The payment and delivery procedure can be finished in minutes.

In other words, the business model, though efficient, has sidestepped the supervision of the drug and commerce administrative departments.
