Curative claims need clean bill of health

ON TUESDAY, THE FIRST WORKING DAY OF 2019, the police in Tianjin launched an investigation into Quanjian Natural Medicine Science & Technology Development Co on suspicion of pyramid selling and false advertising. China Daily writer Zhang Zhouxiang comments:

Before the Tianjin police announced their decision, there had been reports of Quanjian misleading consumers about the health benefits of its products.

Some reports even quoted a father blaming a Quanjian sales representative for persuading his family to give up modern medical treatment for his 4-year-old daughter, who suffered from cancer and died soon after.
