Abstract
This paper discusses China's State Council Order No. 818, effective May 1, 2026, which establishes a statutory framework for biomedical technologies at the cellular and molecular levels. The framework is uniquely intervention-based rather than product-based, and it addresses regulatory gaps for cell and gene therapies as well as germline interventions.
