Law can ensure healthy growth of e-commerce

A PROPOSAL for the draft of an e-commerce law attracted much attention during the ongoing meeting of the National People's Congress Standing Committee from December 19 to 25 in Beijing. China Youth Daily commented on Thursday:

Public opinion on the draft of an e-commerce law is quite favorable. The reason is very simple: In recent years, scams, fake products and leaks of consumers' personal information have been prevalent problems.

Whenever there is a special online shopping gala, the regulatory authorities issue consumer alerts, not only warning consumers to beware of a variety of traps or tricks, but also asking the platform providers to tackle the problems and to take preventive measures.
