Beijing Drops Plan to Criminalize Criticism of Chinese MedicineBeijing on Friday approved a municipal regulation on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) without controversial sections that would have made defaming the practice a crime. The removal of these clauses came after the draft regulation drew sharp criticism while open for public consultation, with legal experts arguing the capital city was exceeding its authority in criminalizing criticism of TCM. Wang Xixin, a law professor at the city's Peking University told Caixin that the exclusion of the controversial section demonstrated the role of public opinion.
