The head of Japan's PMDA since 2019 has been Fujiwara Yasunori, who had been affiliated with the National Cancer Center(JP) for a long time, but when he was at Hopkins Univ. he was told, "We're going to create a Japanese version of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), so please go there."

In other words, the PMDA was created as a subsidiary of the FDA.

Fujiwara has openly stated something very dangerous: "We will also pursue quality from now on. By quality, I mean not only the speed of the review, but also the aim of increasing the number of first-in-the-world approvals."
