On account of manufacturing 60 tonnes fake Viagra and selling them for 21.8 million yuan. ($3.6 million), a Chinese court ruling has slapped imprisonment sentence on the main culprit Xi Yongli and several of his accomplices.

The gang based their operation in a city Fuyang which is infamous for all kinds of illegal activities. A baby formula devoid of any nutritional content was manufactured there which resulted in the death of 13 or more infants in 2004 and now the production of counterfeit Viagra pills has raised a storm.

The United States and European Union has been increasingly putting pressure on China to take stringent action against fake drug manufacturers and as such the authorities in China have started to increase operations against fake drug rackets.
