China is to launch a five-month campaign to combat illegal online drug sales.

According to an official statement, drugs for the treatment of tumors, sexual dysfunction, diabetes and high blood pressure have been listed as "major targets," alongside producers of counterfeit drugs.

@Vendors who market drugs on the Internet without obtaining business licenses and those selling fake drugs will also be targeted during the campaign.

Regulations relevant to online drug sales will be revised, and drug producers, traders and consumers are being encouraged to provide tips in order to regulate online drug sales.

The campaign has been jointly launched by five departments including the China Food and Drug Administration and the State Internet Information Office.
