The State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) held an enforcement and
inspection meeting in Baotou on tackling “ghost takeout” illegal activity. SAMR
deputy director Bai Qingyuan directed targeted H2 supervision of key sectors and
strict implementation of central directives, prioritizing remedies for
involution-style competition. The agency said it will use the Protect
Consumption campaign to crack down on illegal activity in food, electric
bicycles and metrology, deepen the special cleanup of “ghost takeout,”
coordinate anti-organized-crime, telecom-fraud and
anti-counterfeiting/commercial-extortion efforts, and strengthen
cross-department coordination and links between administrative enforcement and
criminal prosecution.
