characteristics of particular groups and regions. Besides, the provincial
Steering Committee 389 has launched a hotline to receive and handle reports on
smuggling, trade fraud and counterfeit products.
According to the provincial Steering Committee 389, the smuggling, production
and trading of banned, fake and low quality products as well as trade fraud
will be more complicated in the rest of the year with more sophisticated
methods. Local competent forces will continue to strengthen inspections over
production and trading facilities, key traffic points and goods stocking
locations, thus detecting and handling violations, it said.
