On January 7th state media reported that Mr Shu and 17 others had been arrested. Market regulators launched a 100-day inspection of the health-product business. By March 1st more than 4,800 cases had been lodged against firms involved in it, the regulators said.

On a recent visit to the site of Quanjian’s headquarters in a semi-rural suburb of Tianjin, a lone employee said the firm was closed. Nearby noodle restaurants that once fed its staff were shuttered.

It has been a remarkable fall for one of Tianjin’s health giants. A guard says the headquarters was once busy “l(fā)ike Tiananmen Square”.

It is now shut.
天津保健行業(yè)巨頭遭遇滑鐵盧。一名保安說,總部曾經像天安門廣場一樣熱鬧。每天有數(shù)百名權健的“老師”乘坐公交車從城外趕來,權健稱他們?yōu)椤案呒変N售人員”。舒先生曾夸口說,擁有1萬個床位的癌癥醫(yī)院堪稱亞洲最大。現(xiàn)在已經關停。
In the company’s heyday, over 7,000 shops nationwide offered Quanjian’s signature “fire therapy” (patients are draped in alcohol-soaked towels and set alight). Among its popular products were “negative- ion” sanitary pads that claimed to prevent menstrual cramping and cervical cancer. The brand’s insoles, which purport to cure arthritis and heart disease, are still available online. A pair sells for 1,068 yuan.
