Recently, a national symposium on market supervision, enforcement and inspection work and investigation and punishment of “ghost takeout” offenses was held in Baotou, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Bai Qingyuan, Deputy Director of the General Administration of Market Regulation, attended the meeting and delivered a speech. The conference pointed out that in the first half of 2026, the national market supervision system steadily promoted various law enforcement inspections, with a total investigation and handling of 641,700 cases, with a forfeiture amount of 6.982 billion yuan. Phased breakthroughs were achieved in investigating and handling major cases, promoting service-oriented law enforcement, and standardizing law enforcement. In particular, key tasks such as the “ghost takeout” special rectification achieved positive results, effectively regulating market operation order and protecting people's livelihood and consumption safety. The conference called for four key tasks to be carried out in the second half of the year: the first is to focus on precise supervision in key areas, strictly implement the central government's work requirements, concentrate on rectifying “internal circulation” competition chaos in the industry; rely on “protect consumption” to crack down on illegal acts in people's livelihood fields such as food, electric bicycles, measurement, etc.; and jointly promote special tasks such as anti-blackmail, anti-fraud, and “anti-counterfeiting” to improve cross-departmental collaboration and execution coordination mechanisms. The second is to deepen service-oriented law enforcement, insist on complying with leniency and rigor, and exempt, or mitigate penalties in accordance with the law if the business entity first violates the law, has minor consequences, and takes the initiative to correct it, so as to effectively protect and stimulate the vitality of business entities. The third is to optimize case handling mechanisms, strengthen overall command, rely on the cluster case handling model, strengthen technical support for electronic forensics, iterate administrative law enforcement platforms, and solve new types of case forensics problems. Fourth, promote standardization of law enforcement, carry out operational military training and discipline reform, deepen the “Clean Wind and Iron Discipline” operation, and continue to rectify irregularities in law enforcement.
