Police in
China probing four senior executives of British pharmaceutical giant
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) have expanded their investigation to AstraZeneca, Sanofi
and Eli Lilly as the scandal has exposed a general culture of corruption in the
country's healthcare sector, the Chinese-language magazine Capital Week
reports. The executives at GSK China, including legal director Zhao Hongyan and
HR director Alex Cheung were summoned over allegations of paying bribes to
doctors and hospital officials.
Multinational
pharmaceutical companies have been in the Chinese market for more than 30
years, developing from initial joint ventures to wholly owned subsidiaries,
setting up factories, establishing research and development centers, and
appointing locals as their chief executives in the country. They now use other
methods to introduce new products to doctors and hospitals.
To better
ingratiate themselves with the government, multinational pharmaceutical
companies have actively recruited the offspring of senior government officials.
Pfizer hired Feng Danlong, granddaughter of the famous general Feng Yuxiang, as
its director of China corporate affairs and the company's spokesperson. Feng
formerly was a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's
Political Consultative Conference.
Insiders
say that relying on market operations alone does not guarantee a company's
success as each province's procurement and standards are all affected by the
central government's policies. Therefore, companies have sought to influence
the policymaking process as part of their way of doing business, the unnamed
insider said.
Multinational
pharmaceuticals are more familiar with national laws and policies than even
some government officials, and far more than some domestic rivals. In recent
years, however, the multinationals have been increasingly negotiating with the
government and domestic health insurance agents over bids to provide cheaper
and more accessible medication.

“…7 - Predictions (Big Pharma)
There are
two more. Very recently we gave you a prophecy of prediction. We reiterate it
now. Right now on the planet there's something in the works that is going to
bring big pharma to its knees. Much like what happened to the tobacco industry,
where there was a realization of a lack of integrity, there was alarm and
outrage. You saw an industry that knowingly addicted the young and caused
death, and this was revealed. And it didn't take that long, did it? And we said
this not too long ago, and I repeat: When you see an entire industry that, for
monetary reasons, is willing to keep people sick for profit, it's going to fall
over. Sooner than later. You're going to see the rumblings of it very soon.
You're
going to start to see Human Beings look at their health in a different way. Do
you know what the real answer to long-term health care is? Not only in this
country, but the earth? I will give you a hint. Don't get sick! And that, dear
Human Being, is what I'm going to tell you is at hand. Coming is an
understanding of the body in a way you have not understood it before. Your DNA
is built to regenerate and last for hundreds of years. Right now, you're here
for a moment and you die. The research is there. The beginning of extended life
is there. Human Beings are going to search for things that are natural and
processes that have always existed, and that will have an avenue of opening
because of the demise of big pharma. And you'll wonder why you didn't know it
before and you will look back and cringe, like you do today with the ads of the
'50s with the doctor smiling, recommending a certain kind of tobacco.
I don't
have a clock, dear one. I cannot tell you when. I can only guarantee you it is
going to happen. It has to. You cannot have systems that are that large that
have no integrity existing in the new energy. Do you understand? Then there are
those who will say, "I hope it happens while I'm here." Oh, it will.
Maybe you won't be who you are today, but you'll be here to see it, old soul. [Kryon
smile] And that was number seven... ..."
