Currently, more than 80 percent of China's pharmaceutical ingredients production has resumed, with the output of some products having surpassed the level recorded in the same period last year, Xin Guobin, vice minister of the MIIT, told a press briefing.
In particular, China has prioritized the supply of drugs used to combat COVID-19, he said.
Having more than 1,500 production enterprises, China is the world's largest producer and exporter of pharmaceutical ingredients with an annual output of around 3 million tonnes, according to the vice minister.
