Beijing, September 11 /Xinhua/ — Premier of the State Council of the PRC Li Qiang signed a State Council decree on the publication of provisions aimed at strengthening the development and regulation of local market supervision departments across the country, in order to more effectively utilize the functions and role of market supervision.
The provisions, consisting of 19 articles and coming into effect on November 1, are designed to organize the system and management mechanisms, and to optimize the staffing of market oversight agencies locally.
In accordance with the provisions, the powers of the specified agencies include duties such as registering individual entrepreneurs, daily supervision of the production and sale of food products, handling complaints and appeals in the field of market supervision, as well as investigating and suppressing violations.
Emphasizing the need to improve services and optimize the business environment, the provisions state that local market supervision departments must carry out supervisory activities in accordance with the law, avoiding or minimizing the impact on the normal production and business activities of economic entities.
Agencies must also strengthen communication with economic entities and consumers in their jurisdiction, publicize the work procedures, and provide standardized, convenient, and effective public services.
Ensuring fair market competition remains one of the priority tasks on China’s development agenda, as the country increasingly focuses on establishing a unified national market and creating a favorable business environment.
To this end, the main provisions of China’s 15th Five-Year Development Plan (2026-2030) provide for increased efforts to improve market regulation rules, unify standards, and enhance regulatory capacity, which should contribute to the formation of a market order characterized by high quality, reasonable prices, and healthy competition. –0–
