国家医保局：价值120万元的抗癌药并未进入医保目录谈判环节
为期三天的2021年国家医保药品目录谈判在京落下帷幕。据国家医保局最新消息，价值120万元的阿基仑赛注射液通过了初步形式审查，但并未进入医保目录谈判环节。据介绍，价格较为昂贵的药品通过了初步形式审查，仅表示经初步审核该药品符合申报条件，获得了进入下一个调整环节的资格。药品最终能否进入国家医保药品目录，还要接受包括经济性等方面的严格评审，独家药品还要经过价格谈判。(记者彭韵佳)

Off-campus tutoring ad regulations
CHINESE authorities have issued a notice on regulating the advertisement of off-campus tutoring, making clear work plans on the issue, according to the State Administration of Market Regulation on Tuesday. The notice was jointly published by nine regulators, including the SAMR, the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, the Cyberspace Administration of China and the Ministry of Education. Local governments should immediately launch special campaigns to eliminate all off-campus tutoring advertisements and follow the requirements of policy documents, said the notice. Mainstream media outlets and their affiliated new-media, as well as Internet platform companies and outdoor advertising operators, should immediately conduct self-checks and rectify their behavior on the issue. Authorities should conduct regulatory talks with major media outlets, Internet platform companies, key off-campus training institutions and advertising operators, while cracking down on false and illegal off-campus training advertisements and maintaining a tough stance on regulation. Efforts should be made to strengthen the management of information on traditional media and the Internet, and to ban sponsored programs and “soft articles” funded by the off-campus training institutions. Railway, subway and bus sectors run by the government are also banned from publishing such advertisements.

North lashed by record blizzards
CHINA is resolved to tackle the strong snowstorm that is wreaking havoc and disrupting normal life in its northern regions. The lingering blizzard, which began on Sunday, has brought record snowfall. Shenyang, the capital city of northeast China’s Liaoning Province, had by Tuesday logged an average snowfall of 51 millimeters and a maximum snow depth of 41 centimeters, the highest level recorded since 1905, local meteorological authorities have said. Local traffic has been severely disrupted by the heavy snowfall, with most expressway toll stations in the province remaining closed on Tuesday. Passenger stations in all parts of the province also remain closed, except those in the cities of Dalian and Dandong. Solid efforts are underway to clear snow from transport routes in a bid to ensure transportation security and safeguard people’s livelihoods. Shenyang has mobilized approximately 24,000 people, with over 2,000 sets of machinery and equipment running at full steam to clear the expressway. The cold wave has brought a significant drop in temperature in northeast China. By Tuesday, temperatures had plummeted by 10 to 14 degrees Celsius in most areas, and by more than 16 degrees Celsius in certain areas, compared to five days ago. Weather departments in the Liaoning and Jilin provinces in northeast China have successively issued red alerts for snowstorms. Amid public concerns over power shortages posed by the blizzard, local governments in north China have made all-out efforts to keep homes warm. The average coal storage rate at Liaoning’s heating enterprises is currently over 60 percent. The provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang are also working to increase their energy production capacities and increase coal imports. To avoid vegetable price hikes because of the extreme weather, Shenyang has urged markets and grocery stores in the city to set the prices of several vegetables lower than the overall average and increase their supplies. In the four-tier color-coded weather warning system for snowstorms, red is the most severe, followed by orange, yellow and blue.

China criticizes US delegation’s visit to Taiwan
CHINA’S military said yesterday it had conducted a combat readiness patrol in the direction of the Taiwan Strait after its defence ministry condemned a visit to Taiwan by a US congressional delegation it said had arrived on a military aircraft. The patrol was aimed at the “seriously wrong” words and actions of “relevant countries” on the Taiwan issue and the activities of pro-independence forces in Taiwan, a Chinese military spokesperson said in a statement. “The US act has wantonly interfered in China’s internal affairs, seriously undermined China’s territorial sovereignty and posed a severe threat to peace and stability in the Taiwan region,” Tan Kefei, spokesperson for China’s Ministry of National Defense, said while reiterating that Taiwan is a sacred and inalienable part of Chinese territory. “We sternly warn that the United States must immediately stop its provocative actions and all destructive moves that lead to the further escalation of tensions in the Taiwan region, and refrain from sending false signals to ‘Taiwan independence’ separatists,” Tan said. Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party authority must not misjudge the situation or take desperate moves, which will only bring disaster to Taiwan, Tan warned. China must be and will be reunited, he stressed. “No one should underestimate the Chinese people’s staunch determination, strong resolve and powerful capability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Tan said, adding that the People’s Liberation Army remains on high alert and will take every necessary measure to crush any external interference or any form of separatist attempts for “Taiwan independence.” A Chinese mainland spokesperson yesterday said tensions across the Taiwan Strait will not ease until provocative acts advocating “Taiwan independence” cease. China’s Taiwan Affairs Office also condemned the visit. Zhu Fenglian, a spokesperson for the State Council’s Taiwan Affairs Office, described the touting of the so-called “two states” theory by Taiwan’s Democratic Progressive Party authority and elements advocating “Taiwan independence,” and their collusion with external forces to incite provocations, as the “root causes” of the tensions across the strait. Zhu said relevant exercises and training conducted by the People’s Liberation Army are meant to target separatist activities seeking “Taiwan independence” and interference by external forces. In essence, these exercises and training aim to safeguard the overall interests of the Chinese nation and the immediate interests of compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, said Zhu.

Energy for households and factories in winter secured
CHINA’S energy crunch is expected to alleviate as the country’s multiple measures to boost supply and rein in price hikes have started to take effect, securing sufficient energy for factories and households for the winter. China’s coal output has sustained its growth momentum since mid-October. The maximum daily output of coal has hit 11.93 million tons, a record high for recent years, said the National Development and Reform Commission, the economic planner. The coal stockpiles of the country’s power producers have also rebounded, the latest official data shows, with power producers nationwide reporting a total of 117 million tons of coal in their inventories as of Saturday, an increase of about 40 million tons from the end of September. Coal for power generators and heating suppliers is guaranteed as mid to long-term coal supply contracts have roughly covered demand, the economic planner said. Increased coal output and inventories at power plants will help drive down the soaring coal prices, the NDRC said, noting that prices are expected to continue their decline as production and inventories rise further. Energy prices have surged globally since the start of this year amid a supply crunch. In China, energy strains caused power outages in September, hitting families in some regions and forcing factories in the world’s second-largest economy to halt production. Following the September power blackouts, the country stressed the importance of efforts to prioritize energy sufficiency in several meetings. At an executive meeting of the State Council in late October, China ordered concerted efforts to ensure coal production and transportation, increase the gas supply and crack down on speculative activities in the market. Centrally administered state-owned enterprises were important coal producers, with their coal output accounting for nearly a quarter of the country’s total. During a symposium last month, central SOEs were ordered to increase the supply of coal and natural gas to ensure power generation, while taking the lead in stabilizing coal prices. To unleash more production capacity, the National Mine Safety Administration has streamlined the approval process for coal producers to put qualified mines into operation. So far, the administration has added some 153 coal mines to its emergency supply list, a move expected to increase production capacity by 220 million tons per year. In addition to expanding output, China has also moved to facilitate coal transportation in key areas and on key routes. The amount of coal transported via railways reached a record high in recent years after the NDRC urged rail and shipping companies to fully tap their transport capacities and prioritize orders from power generators and heating suppliers. Spot prices and coal futures have slumped rapidly since mid-October as long-term supply contracts cover more coal producers and supervision strengthens to rein in excessive speculation. In response to recent diesel shortages in some regions, China’s major oil producers have worked to increase the oil supply through means such as adjusting the production process. The diesel supply recorded a month-on-month rise of nearly 20 percent in both September and October. With these measures underway, the State Grid Corporation of China, the country’s largest state-owned utility company, on Sunday said that power supply and demand in areas operated by the company have returned to normal, with considerable reductions in the scale of power curbs and the electricity gap. There is no problem in ensuring household power and gas supply, the NDRC said, shrugging off concerns over an energy crunch during a winter that is forecast to be colder than usual.
