Vier maande gelede het Chinese staatsmedia aangekondig ietermagôskubbe is van tradisionele medisynelyste verwyder, maar navorsing weerspreek dat dié benadering in werklikheid toegepas word. Volgens ’n verslag getiteld “Smoke and Mirrors” van die Omgewingsondersoekagentskap (EIA) wat vandeesmaand gepubliseer is, word ietermagôprodukte steeds in tradisionele medisyne gebruik.

Four months ago, Chinese state media announced that pangolin sclaes had been removed from traditional medicine lists, but research contradicts that this approach is actually being applied. According to a report entitled "Smoke and Mirrors" from the Environmental Research Agency (EIA) published this month, pangolin products are still used in traditional medicine.
