On the NPC Conference, China State Council released the 2018 National Legislation Plan. Replacing the "Hygiene Supervision of Cosmetics Regulation 1989" with an updated overarching regulation is part of China's plans moving forward.

Early in 2015 a draft of "Regulations concerning the Supervision and Administration over Cosmetics" was issued which was expected to replace Regulations concerning the Hygiene Supervision over Cosmetics 1989. This draft however was hugely controversial and was never implemented. (see news on CL).
