Police crack down on sales of fake goods
China DailyPolice across the country have cracked more than 1,900 cases involving online sales of counterfeit goods this year while carrying out related campaigns launched by the Ministry of Public Security, the ministry said. In a statement issued shortly before the "Double 11" online shopping event, which falls on Nov 11 every year, the ministry said police have closely followed key facilitators such as livestreams and e-commerce platforms, to crack down on counterfeit sales. As online counterfeit sales are highly clandestine and involve a long industrial chain, police have thoroughly investigated the production and sale of fake products and have punished organizers, operators and those who have profited from it, the ministry said. The ministry said it will continue operating special campaigns targeting counterfeit products, intensify efforts to combat online sales of such products and better protect the rights of consumers and companies.
