Box office hit moves China to act on cancer drugs
18 July 2018 - Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has called for cheaper and more accessible cancer drugs after a successful new film sparked public debate on the issue.
Mr Li spoke after Dying To Survive stormed the box office, taking in $390m (£296m) in its first two weeks.
It tells the fictional story of a shopkeeper who imports cheap, Indian drugs banned in China for profit.
