Saw some additional info on the state of API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) = DS (Drug substance) manufacture and import from foreign suppliers.

In the article, PAIs = preapproval inspections, CDER = Center for Drug Evaluation & Research, SFDA = State Food and Drug Administration = China's equivalent to the FDA.
