Why is China still testing on animals?

As you can see any cosmetic imported from another country must be tested on animals to be sold in China - it is illegal if it hasn't!
There is absolutely no reason for this especially since the technology to grow actual human skin in a laboratory has been around since 2014.
To start, MatTek the company producing the much more humane alternative, Is not harvested from people, MatTek grows its own human skin, and then sells it to companies that want it—companies that make laundry detergent, makeup, toilet bowl cleaner, anti-aging creams, tanning lotion.MatTek needs a small but steady supply of real human skin, which they could use as seed material to grow large quantities in the lab. Most human cells can only replicate so many times before they die. And thus we all age and we perish.
The process is extremely opaque. But if you’ve had a circumcision or tummy tuck or breast surgery, especially in a Boston-area hospital, your cells could have made it to MatTek, been expanded to cover two football fields worth of skin, and been sent all over the world to labs that test chemicals and skin creams and drugs.

So come on China get with the times - there is no need for the sickening abuse and neglect these animals are being put through - and shame on you big companies like Nars putting profit before apparently your own beliefs on animal cruelty and testing on animals just to tap into the cosmetic industry in china!
