Legal boundaries must be drawn for online commercial activities

SOME ONLINE LIVESTREAMING HOSTS promote products such as candies, chilli sauce and "medicines" bearing their names to their fans. But these products carry none of the required information about their ingredients, producers and production date that the law stipulates must be printed on the packages of food and medicines. Chinese Business View comments:

Livestreaming sales have become a lucrative way of transforming the popularity of livestreaming hosts into commercial profits.

Although the hosts claim to consume the products themselves, their endorsements cannot replace the quality check procedures and industrial inspection processes for food and pharmaceutical products.
