The poison capsule destroys Xinchang's reputation Local officials say that the tax contribution is not significant

For Yu Hongjun in 2012, he experienced great joy and great worry in just four months, and all this has come too fast. As the director of the Local Government Information Office, he is the public opinion leader of Xinchang to resolve the capsule crisis.

On April 15th, CCTV’s “Weekly Quality Report” revealed that the capsule factory in Dufu County, Xinchang County, a famous capsule town in China, has secretly sold and used a large number of white bags of gelatin secretly through underground chains. This small county town with a population of only 430,000 in the southeast of Shaoxing is bustling.

Dufu Town is an edge town in the southern foothills of Tianzhu Mountain in the southern part of Xinchang County. It is about 20 kilometers away from the county seat. It is the largest pharmaceutical hollow capsule production base in China and has the title of “Hometown of Chinese Capsules”.

Wang Kai, a taxi driver, said that Xinchang is famous throughout the country. This small county has never had so many reporters.

In the second half of the year, Xinchang became almost synonymous with poison capsules. Not only did the media gather in large numbers, the country also stationed in the supervision group to personally sit in Xinchang, all of which made the local leaders grumpy and stunned. In order to solve this problem, Xinchang set up an investigation team and shut down all the capsule factories. At the same time, it also arranged for individuals to collect public opinions on a daily basis to understand the society's response to this incident.

An official of the Xinchang County People's Government who asked not to be named said that the capsule industry’s taxation ratio in Xinchang is very small, nothing at all, and it is closed. The government is now faced with how to repair the capsule event for the local image. The destruction.

April 24, Dufu County, Xinchang County. The formerly noisy capsule medicinal company on both sides of the 104 National Highway has been quiet. At the entrance, there was an occasional car passing under the sign of the hometown of Chinese capsules. Not far away, a reporter from a foreign country was holding a camera and photographed a sign.

Image crisis After the capsule incident, Yu Hongjun’s department became the most tired of the three people in the county. He was not only busy until the latest day, but also helped reporters to contact the interview and persuaded relevant department heads to interview with reporters. "The matter has already been solved, how to solve is the key." Yu Hongjun said that blocking is not as sparse, this time the more blocking, but will be more chaotic. He bluntly said that this incident has caused great damage to the local image. If it is not handled properly, it will be dubbed the title of “toxic capsule”, which the local government does not want to see.

Having said that, but one after another came to the reporter, it really made him the director of the Information Office took a sweat. In private, he will also communicate with the reporters. Is this scenario and overwhelming reports even worse than the Wenzhou train crash at that time? “Don’t talk to me about Dugong. Now I just want to vomit.” Sun Yiqiu, who works in the Propaganda Department of the CPC Xinchang County Committee, said that after the incident, she went to Dugong for the most number of times, and her propaganda department was the most tired. Stay up until 12:00 every night.

A local government official repeatedly stated in his newspaper reporter's re-emphasis that he would not disclose his name. Now no one dares to come out and say that there are so many mistakes. All those who spoke in the early days were paralyzed. Now that you are looking for them, you will certainly not speak.

The above official stated that the county is now hoping that things will slowly fade, and that it will continue to do its work. It will fully cooperate with relevant state and provincial and municipal authorities in the early stage and ban the unlawful and non-compliant capsule enterprises. "Anyway, capsules don't contribute much to Xinchang's tax revenue. If you close it, you can shut it off.

Even though the ideas of the local leaders are open-minded, for the small county town with a population of only 430,000, the flocked reporters still feel that they are facing the enemy. The reporter arrived at the front foot, and the county behind the foot immediately knew that the information network of the county had expanded little by little.

In addition, in order to prevent and prevent accidents, in the parking lot opposite the county government, 20 armed policemen are ready to stand by.

The staff of Xinchang County Bureau of Food and Drug Control said that everything is based on the city's draft, and the above account can't be said.

Can not keep up with the regulation "Now catching people everywhere, shutting down the plant, which also does not make people live." Xinchang County Leisure Capsule Capsule Co., Ltd. General Manager Pan Jinxi said. He complained that the current governance measures are "killed on one stick, and there is no reason to worry about the fate of regular businesses." "All the problems have been exaggerated. No one has ever seen the real reasons." Pan Jinxi said that they all said that there were many problems and unscrupulous business, but no one asked how they were supervised. “A problem has been solved across the board and the problem has been completely pushed to the enterprise. In fact, standards, policies, and supervision have not kept pace with it.” Pan Jinxi believes that today's “one size fits all” strategy for low-price bids in drug bidding, the government only focuses on prices. The high and low levels have caused the market to lose its balance.

However, he admitted that it is an indisputable fact in the industry to use cowskin glue and pigskin glue to make medicines. Whoever wants to say that it has not been used is a lie. However, formal enterprises generally do not use industrial gelatin.

Xu Honghui, Secretary-General of Xinchang Hollow Capsule Industry Association, said that if we want to change this situation, we must implement a market competition system under the government-guided price, calculate the lowest cost, and strictly observe the quality control. Each company must rely on production qualification, product quality and supporting services. fair competition.

Kong Dinghong, deputy director of Xinchang County Food and Drug Administration, said that according to regulations, the drug regulatory department is only responsible for regulating pharmaceutical gelatin, and the quality supervision department is only responsible for monitoring the consumption of gelatin. The raw material for producing capsules should be gelatin for pharmaceutical use. If the enterprise uses gelatin, as long as the chromium content does not exceed the standard, it still belongs to the legal scope, so the supervision is difficult.

A local capsule manufacturer said that the county Food and Drug Administration's inspections only rely on a "quick-check kit", and it is impossible to detect whether the capsules contain excessive chromium content. To put it bluntly is to go through the court and discerning people know how it is.

According to the relevant national laws and regulations, if problems are found during sampling, a penalty of between 20,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan shall be imposed and the raw materials and finished products shall be confiscated on the spot. The 2010 edition of the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" further stipulates that the safety of pharmaceutical excipients should be supervised by the pharmaceutical supervisory department, and that the supervisory department should conduct spot checks from time to time.

However, some capsule manufacturers do not care at all. They only need 2 to 3 tons of industrial gelatin to replace these losses.

Li Hongju, a villager in Dufu Town, said that many local people do not eat capsules, because everyone knows exactly what they are doing and they do not dare to eat.

The future of Dufu The total population of Dufu Town is less than 30,000, but there are nearly 10,000 people directly and indirectly involved in the capsule industry. With an annual output of more than 100 billion hollow capsules, accounting for about 40% of the country's total production.

The capsule industry is the main industry here. Before and after the year 2000, there were more than 300 capsule production enterprises in Dufu Town. In addition to large and small enterprises, nearly every household would make capsules by hand. "In 2008, Xinchang Capsule Industry achieved an output value of 2.646 billion yuan, and its domestic market share reached 30%." Pan Jinlu said that the early days of Dugu capsule enterprises all have problems such as backward equipment, simple technology, low technological content, and obsolete management methods. After two rounds of shuffling, there were 34 capsule enterprises in the town and 9 in the county.

According to Xinchang County Administration for Industry and Commerce, there are 43 enterprises engaged in capsule production in Xinchang County.

In the second half of the incident, capsules became the hottest topic for locals after a meal. Some accidents near the plastic factory, often gathered in twos and threes of the villagers and business employees, the company gates, from time to time visible public security, drug supervision and other department personnel in and out, warehouses, workshops have been drug administration, the public security department posted a seal.

Wang Meiling, a villager in Dufu Town, said that I have heard that more than 50 people have been arrested and some corporate accounts have been frozen. Now many workers are looking for the government to demand money and demand settlement of wages.

Sheng Xuedong, secretary of the Communist Party Committee of the Communist Party of Xinchang County in Xinchang County, said that after the incident, both the county and the town have attached great importance to rectifying the problem on the one hand, and on the other hand, solved the issue of employee wage arrears as soon as possible to avoid instability.

Regarding the development of Du Fu’s future, Sheng Xuedong said that he is only a small secretary of the township committee and has no right of decision. Everything is decided by the county. Finally, he ended the dialogue on the grounds that he would report to the deputy secretary of the county party committee.

An official of the Xinchang government who declined to be named stated that there are three pillar industries in Xinchang, namely tourism, machinery industry and tea. In addition, the world’s refrigeration components Kingdom Sanhua Holding Group Co., Ltd. is also located in Xinchang, a world-famous luxury brand Hermès. Chinese processing plants of silk products were processed by Dali Silk (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. in Xinchang. The contribution of capsules was negligible. According to public information, in 2011, Dufu Town annual production of hollow capsules was about 100 billion, achieving output value. 925.44 million yuan, sales of 883.70 million yuan, of which 9.145 million yuan of local financial contributions, less than 10% of Xinchang County's fiscal revenue.

The official said that the broken arm is always better than a litter and always puts the local image first. After the event is over, they will go to Beijing to open a city promotion meeting to present a brand new city image.

However, he complained that Xinchang’s capsules accounted for only one-third of the country’s total. Jiangsu and Shandong were also the producers of capsules, but the media did not find them in trouble. Instead, they came here to find Xinchang’s troubles. Words are too unfair. "Wrong to say it, there is no shame. This is the attitude that the government should have." Chen Ailian, representative of the 17th CPC National Congress and chairman of Wanfeng Auto Holding Group, said that the problem is not terrible. It is important not to reflect on it. With understanding, it will intensify the problem and sharpen the contradiction.

She believes that in the future, the Xinchang County Party Committee and County Government must learn to reflect. When adjusting and planning the development of the industry, it must have a correct view of the mind. Otherwise, blind development will only make such incidents accumulate.

Ari Long, who opened a store here in Taichung, said that he will not find such a big problem in Taiwan, and companies will not dare to do so. The government will have to supervise and inspect it carefully. It will not be a cut in the way of the mainland.

In the eyes of Pan Jinyi, Xu Honghui and others, perhaps DUPU experienced such a reshuffle that it could improve the vicious cycle, and the entire capsule industry could move toward a healthy development path. “There will definitely be an impact on sales in the future, but at least it can eliminate those small workshops and allow us these regular companies to grow even better,” Pan Jinxi said.

On April 27, Yu Hongjun called the reporter and asked if he had already left. On the other end of the phone, he bluntly said that there was too much media and too much pressure. When one went, the pressure eased.
