We insist on accurate identification, strike hard, and resolutely clean up the industry chaos. At the same time, the complex manifestations and potential hazards of the "involution" phenomenon in different formats are studied and judged in depth, so as to achieve the effect of "investigating and dealing with one case, warning one area and governing one area" through the investigation and handling of individual cases, and guide the relevant industries from disorderly competition to benign development. Ten major typical cases released today cover many fields, from traditional manufacturing to platform economy, from product manufacturing to certification services. Next, I will briefly introduce these cases. The first is to investigate and deal with the case of infringement of the exclusive right to use registered trademarks by "Putian Laila" chain enterprises. By organizing nationwide and cross-regional centralized law enforcement actions, we have successfully destroyed the concealed and large-scale systematic network of counterfeiting, effectively curbed the "involution" problem of low-price vicious competition in relevant industries through infringement and counterfeiting, and promoted the establishment of a benign competitive ecology based on respecting intellectual property rights and encouraging innovation. 0HTML0UNK9 The second is to investigate and deal with the case of violation of compulsory product certification regulations and false publicity by Shenzhen Romas Technology Co., Ltd. Investigate and punish the illegal acts of enterprises that destroy fair competition in the market and damage consumers'rights and interests with "low-quality" products according to law, and transmit clear regulatory signals to rectify "involution" competition and guide the healthy and sustainable development of the industry. 0 HTML 0 UNK1 0 The third is to investigate and deal with the monopoly agreement of dexamethasone sodium phosphate raw materials.

In the next step, the General Administration of Market Supervision will resolutely implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, adhere to the problem-oriented and goal-oriented approach, maintain the high-pressure situation of law enforcement, improve the long-term regulatory mechanism, and promote the formation of a market order of high quality, high price and benign competition. 0HTML0 UNK2 1 Liao Yun, Director of the Information and Publicity Division of the Information and Publicity Department of the General Administration of Market Supervision: 0HTML0 UNK2 2 Thank you, Ms. Zhao Chunlei, for your introduction. Let's move on to the question session. Please inform your news organization before asking questions. Now please raise your hands and ask questions. 0 HTML0 UNK2 3 China Central Radio and Television Station Voice of China reporter's question: 0 HTML0 UNK2 4 The ten major cases released this time include the case of Shenzhen Romas Technology Co., Ltd. violating the compulsory product certification regulations and false publicity. Please introduce the investigation and punishment of the case, what inspiration does it have for the comprehensive rectification of the industry volume, and what considerations do you have for the next step? Under the strong guidance of the Security Commission Office of the State Council, the General Administration of Market Supervision has deployed a centralized rectification action for the quality and safety of charging treasure. A total of 1169 illegal cases related to charging treasure were investigated and dealt with by the national market supervision departments, and the bottom line of product quality and safety was firmly maintained. Among them, Shenzhen Romas Technology Co., Ltd. is typical in violating compulsory certification regulations and false publicity. 0 HTML0 UNK2 5 Shenzhen Romas Technology Co., Ltd. commissioned the production and sale of Charging Treasure products without obtaining the compulsory certification of relevant models of Charging Treasure. Knowing that the above acts of the company have violated the relevant provisions of the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Certification and Accreditation, the Regulations on the Administration of Compulsory Product Certification and the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of the People's Republic of China, the local market supervision department has imposed administrative penalties on the company according to law.

China Consumer News reporter's question:

We are concerned that two of the ten major cases involve illegal acts of false publicity in the field of private domain live broadcasting. How does the market supervision department rectify the chaos of false publicity in private domain live broadcasting? In view of the chaos of false publicity in private live broadcasting, the market supervision department has continuously strengthened the anti-unfair competition work in the field of people's livelihood, severely cracked down on such illegal and irregular acts, and achieved positive results.

The first is to deploy the national market supervision system to carry out special rectification. Last year, it issued the Notice on the Special Rectification of False publicity of Drugs and Health Products for the Elderly, and deployed the national market supervision departments to strictly investigate the acts of infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly and destroying the competition order of the old-age service market, such as false publicity of drugs and health products for the elderly, price fraud and illegal advertisements. During the special rectification work, 9,268 problem clues provided by the masses and business entities were collected, 6,175 illegal cases were investigated and dealt with, the amount of fines and confiscations was 103.5 million yuan, and 4,908 entities were ordered to rectify, involving 634 yuan.

The second is to strengthen supervision and law enforcement, and crack down on illegal activities in the whole chain. In view of the trend that the illegal acts of false publicity of health products spread to the field of private domain live broadcasting and evade supervision, the market supervision department has carried out targeted governance, established a special working mechanism, followed up the whole process of guidance and supervision, and carried out a bottom-up verification of the relevant private domain live broadcasting platform. A number of illegal and illegal private domain live broadcasting platforms, private domain live broadcasting rooms, related product production enterprises, sales enterprises and other illegal subjects have been investigated and dealt with, thus achieving a full-chain crackdown. For example, among the ten major cases announced this time, in the "Weizan" case investigated and dealt with by the market supervision department of Guangdong Province, the party involved was a private domain live broadcasting platform, providing technical support for false publicity; while in the "Abao" case investigated and dealt with by the market supervision department of Fujian Province, the party involved was an operator who relied on private domain to publicize and sell products. The identities of the two are different. The former, as a platform, provides convenience for illegal acts of false publicity in private domain live broadcasting, which belongs to helping false publicity, while the latter is the perpetrator of illegal acts of false publicity. The market supervision department applies the law accurately to achieve both the symptoms and the root causes, and publishes a number of typical cases of false publicity in private domain live broadcasting to the society in the early stage, playing the role of "investigating and dealing with a case, warning a piece and standardizing the industry".

Third, we should consolidate the responsibility of the platform and push forward the governance of illegal acts. In view of the problem that some illegal businesses use private domain group chat to induce consumers to enter private domain live broadcasting, the General Administration of Market Supervision interviewed relevant platform enterprises and asked them to consolidate their main responsibilities and fulfill their social obligations. By cooperating with the regulatory authorities in handling cases and collecting evidence, adopting technical measures to restrict access to external links suspected of illegal content, and increasing publicity tips to consumers, we will actively support the market regulatory authorities in enforcing the law on illegal private domain live broadcasting platforms. Question from

Phoenix Satellite TV:

Please brief us on the new joint venture between CNPC Jichai Power Co., Ltd. and Ningde Times New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. What positive role does the review of concentration of undertakings play in rectifying "involution" competition? The General Administration of Market Supervision adheres to the principle of "quick examination without quality degradation and strict examination without burden increase", strengthens the centralized examination of operators in important areas of "involution" competition such as automobiles, photovoltaics and lithium batteries, effectively supports enterprises to revitalize idle assets and improve operational efficiency through mergers and acquisitions in accordance with the law, and supports enterprises to get out of "involution" competition through mergers and acquisitions. In 2025, 129 cases in related fields were concluded, including promoting technological synergy, realizing complementary advantages, optimizing the layout of production capacity, integrating regional resources, revitalizing idle production capacity, and promoting transformation and upgrading. Among the

ten major cases, the case of the new joint venture between China Petroleum Group Jichai Power Co., Ltd. and Ningde Times New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. is a typical example. In June 2025, the General Administration of Market Supervision received a declaration of concentration of operators in the case. The joint venture established by both parties is mainly engaged in lithium battery

Next, the General Administration of Market Supervision will continue to improve the rules of the examination system of concentration of operators, further improve the efficiency of the examination, create a good institutional environment for enterprises to invest in mergers and acquisitions in accordance with the law, and enhance the effectiveness of the comprehensive rectification of "involution" competition.

Shanghai Securities News reporter's question:

Unfair competition on the Internet encourages "involution" chaos and harms the interests of consumers. What work has the market supervision department carried out in this regard?

One is to strengthen law enforcement. Deploy and carry out special actions to rectify unfair competition on the Internet in 2025. Focus on the key areas and industries such as live e-commerce, medicines for the elderly, health products, photovoltaics and automobile platforms, which are concerned by the Party Central Committee, the people and the high incidence of illegal activities. We will intensify the investigation and punishment of various illegal acts such as traffic hijacking, illegal access to data, commercial slander in live broadcasting, bill-brushing and speculation, exaggeration of product efficacy, fictitious popularity of live broadcasting rooms, mutual blackening and trampling in photovoltaic, automotive, platform and other fields, and unfair competition in the field of artificial intelligence. In 2025, a total of 1,932 cases of unfair competition on the Internet were investigated and dealt with nationwide, and the amount of fines and confiscations was 7,152.

The second is to strengthen the means of supervision. Local market supervision departments use digital supervision and law enforcement platforms to strengthen the monitoring of unfair competition on the Internet and crack down on unfair competition in the field of the Internet accurately. At the same time, local market supervision departments are encouraged to actively explore the use of big data analysis and other means to improve the monitoring efficiency and quality of illegal acts such as false publicity of private live broadcasting and online commercial defamation, effectively expand the sources of case clues, timely fix evidence, and promote more accurate and efficient supervision and law enforcement.

Third, strengthen publicity and guidance. The General Administration of Market Supervision has held several symposiums for platform enterprises to publicize and implement the new anti-unfair competition law, requiring platform enterprises, including takeout, wine travel, online car-hailing and bicycle-sharing, to conscientiously study and implement the spirit of the law, strictly abide by the law, comprehensively review their own business practices, and go steadily and far on the track of compliance. In addition, five batches of 31 typical cases, including unfair competition on the Internet, infringement of trade secrets, medicines for the elderly, false publicity of health products, and unfair competition in private live broadcasting, were published to the public in the form of "case + comment interpretation", so as to enhance the deterrence of law enforcement, clarify the bottom line rules, strengthen the advocacy of fair competition, and strive to enhance the awareness of fair competition in the whole society.

Fourth, strengthen the system construction. Cooperate with the legislature to complete the amendment of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law. The new Anti-Unfair Competition Law has been formally implemented on October 15, 2025, in which the relevant provisions on the protection of data rights and interests and the clarification of the responsibilities of platform operators have been added to the unfair competition on the Internet. In this regard, we should especially remind the platform operators to strictly implement the requirements of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law on the responsibility of the platform, not only to operate in accordance with the law, but also to guide and regulate the operators in the platform to compete fairly according to law, and to find that the operators in the platform have committed unfair competition, they should take necessary measures in time and in accordance with the law. And report to the supervision and inspection department of the people's government at or above the county level in the place where the platform operator resides.

In the next step, the market supervision department will resolutely implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, firmly implement the new Anti-Unfair Competition Law, investigate and punish all kinds of unfair competition acts according to law, resolutely crack down on illegal acts that disrupt the order of fair competition, better safeguard the rights and interests of consumers, and create a fairer competitive market environment!

Thank all the journalists and publishers for attending today's press conference. This concludes the press conference.
