China FDA: Unannounced inspections are around the corner

China's version of the FDA, or CFDA, announced that it will begin conducting unannounced inspections of medical device companies' manufacturing and development efforts starting Sept. 1, as it looks to step up its oversight of the industry.

The inspections could lead to warning letters, investigations or device recalls. More | Here's the official order from the CFDA (in Chinese)
