Protect rural consumers from inferior products

By Li Yang | China Daily | Updated: 2015-03-14 08:18

Farmers took away tons of substandard and counterfeit goods on March 10, which were supposed to be destroyed in a Xuzhou suburb in Jiangsu province, East China, ignoring law enforcement officers' warning not to do so. Among the goods were food and healthcare products, chemicals and electric wires.

It is an irony that the counterfeits and substandard goods that quality supervisors seized from the local markets to protect people's health and interests are actually popular among consumers.

It is also an irony that law enforcement raids on rural markets mostly take place before and during Spring Festival while for the rest of the year they turn into havens for those making and selling counterfeit and substandard products, whose main consumers are the elderly and children left behind by their migrant worker-parents.
