“It was a pleasure and an honor to be able to teach U.S. food and drug law to the Hubei SFDA Delegation,” stated Mr. England. “From the questions they asked, it was clear to me that they are committed to continue improving the safety and quality of Chinese food and drug manufacturing. The new FSMA requirements are actually quite similar to China’s own new food safety legislation – so they are already steps ahead of other countries.” Mr. England and Mr. Quinn were aided by Shelly Li, Regulatory Specialist from the Chinese office of FDAImports.com ([ExportToUsa.com.cn](http://exporttousa.com.cn/?ref=foodconsumer.org)) and John Wu, former Chinese business executive.
