The Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and several other government institutions will launch a nationwide campaign to clean up the country's labor market for overseas jobs, the commerce ministry said on Tuesday in a statement on its website. The move, scheduled between June 10 and Aug 31, is expected to shut down illegal mediator companies, restore order to the market and protect the rights of Chinese working abroad.
