The "Iron Fist" action launched by the State Administration for Market Regulation this year will focus on cracking down on 8 types of illegal activities in the field of people's livelihood, including illegal addition of food, counterfeit and inferior fertilizers, false propaganda such as "brushing orders and speculating letters", false and illegal advertisements such as "divine doctors" and "divine medicines", production and sales of low-quality gas appliances, illegal production and use of small boilers and unregistered elevators, and infringement of consumer rights through unfair format clauses Counterfeiting well-known brands and engaging in "celebrity friendly" and "free riding" behavior. This is what the reporter learned on the 20th from the special press conference on the "Iron Fist" action in the field of people's livelihood case investigation organized by the State Administration of Market Regulation. In recent years, the State Administration for Market Regulation has continued to carry out the "Iron Fist" campaign to investigate and handle cases in the field of people's livelihood. According to statistics, in 2022, the national market supervision department investigated 206000 illegal cases in the field of people's livelihood and transferred 3554 cases to public security organs. Focusing on the prominent issues that harm the interests of the people in the field of people's livelihood, a series of typical cases have been investigated and dealt with, such as the production and sales of fake and inferior automotive diesel with a value of 366 million yuan in Inner Mongolia, the sales of counterfeit alcohol by gangs with a value of over 1 billion yuan in Hunan, and the large-scale production and sales of counterfeit electronic cigarettes with a value of nearly 110 million yuan in Guangxi. With the development of the network economy, operators use unfair format clauses to infringe on consumer rights and interests through covert and widespread illegal means, with a negative impact. In 2022, the national market supervision department investigated and handled 1981 cases of contract violations, with fines of over 7.5 million yuan. Wang Songlin, a first level inspector of the Law Enforcement and Inspection Bureau of the State Administration for Market Regulation, introduced that in order to further enhance consumers' awareness of contracts and rights protection, and jointly create a safe and reassuring consumption environment, this year's "Iron Fist" action will focus on investigating and punishing illegal behaviors such as excluding or limiting consumer rights, reducing or exempting operator responsibilities, and increasing consumer responsibilities. A number of typical illegal cases will be investigated and exposed, fully playing a warning and deterrent role. In industries such as medical beauty services, live streaming sales, and catering services, false transaction information and false comments, such as "swiping orders and speculation", harm consumers' right to know, infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of industry operators, and undermine the fair competition market environment. In 2022, the national market regulatory authorities investigated and dealt with 738 cases of "brushing orders and speculation", and confiscated approximately 48.68 million yuan. Yang Hongfeng, the first level inspector of the Price Supervision and Competition Bureau of the General Administration of Market Supervision, said that this year's "iron fist" action focused on fair competition in the field of people's livelihood, and severely cracked down on all kinds of unfair competition behaviors such as "scalping and speculation", so as to draw a clear line for the competitive behavior of market subjects and provide normative guidance. In 2022, the national market supervision department investigated and dealt with 7794 cases of false and illegal advertising in medical, pharmaceutical, medical equipment, health food, and other fields, and fined 126 million yuan. Luo Lan, Deputy Director of the Advertising Supervision Department of the State Administration for Market Regulation, introduced that this year's "Iron Fist" campaign aims to crack down on illegal advertising of "divine medicine", focusing on strengthening advertising monitoring, focusing on cracking down on advertising campaigns that impersonate experts and famous doctors, promoting drug efficacy in violation of laws and regulations, and fabricating and exaggerating the efficacy of health food. The small boilers widely used in industries such as food manufacturing, agricultural and sideline product processing, and residential services still have safety issues due to their large quantity and wide range.
