  Consumption is the main driving force driving the Chinese economy, and is a "barometer" for the market and people's confidence. Under the impact of the epidemic, it is necessary to boost the economy and promote consumption, but encouraging consumption is not to allow crude manufacturing, nor can it give a green light to fakes. While boosting consumption with high quality, how to protect consumers' rights and interests, and how to prevent and control fake depressions like epidemic prevention?

  The two sessions of the National People's Congress will be held soon. China News Service recently interviewed a number of NPC deputies, members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and industry experts, and made suggestions on promoting consumption and making up for shortcomings.

Wei Jianguo: China is expected to become the world's first consumer market

  Wei Jianguo, deputy chairman of the China International Economic Exchange Center and former vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce, predicts that the total retail sales of consumer goods in China will exceed 41 trillion yuan (RMB, the same below) last year, and this year is expected to grow to 45 trillion yuan, exceeding The United States has become the world's largest market.

  This judgment is based on multiple favorable conditions. Wei Jianguo believes that during the epidemic, the Chinese people's willingness to consume and demand will be suppressed to a certain extent, and will gradually recover in the future; the current daily express parcels in China have exceeded 100 million pieces, and logistics will be further accelerated in the future; e-commerce has targeted the elderly, For consumer groups such as children whose potential remains to be developed, new consumption will continue to grow rapidly and lead the global consumer market.

Liu Shangxi: The consumption potential is huge, but there is still a "blocking point" when it is fully released

  Liu Shangxi, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and director of the Chinese Academy of Fiscal Sciences, pointed out that China's consumption potential is huge, but it is fully released, and there are still three major obstacles: First, under the impact of the epidemic, offline consumption places have been greatly affected, and There is no local consumption ”; second, the epidemic affects residents’ income and the residents ’propensity to save; third, improving the quality of supply is very important for promoting consumption, and involves technical content, brand, safety and other issues.

  "To expand domestic demand, we must consider how to improve the quality of domestic consumer products." Liu Shangxi said that at present, China's pursuit of high-quality development, to meet the people's longing for a better life, we need to place more emphasis on protecting consumer rights and interests. Law enforcement and other aspects have been expanded to severely crack down on counterfeiting and selling.

Li Zhengguo: It is recommended to put social platform sales under supervision

  Anti-counterfeiting is both to promote consumption and protect rights. Li Zhengguo, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the Sichuan Provincial Lawyers Association, believes that some social platform sales deviate from the current effective legal supervision, publish some false information on the platform, or conduct some misleading publicity, harm and risk to consumers Larger and more trapped, it needs to be governed by laws.

  "But the e-commerce law that has come into effect does not make clear provisions in the field of selling goods on social platforms. In the future process of revising the e-commerce law, this part can be included in the consideration of the revision." Li Zhengguo suggested.

Lei Dongzhu: Anti-epidemic exposure needs to be vigilant

  Lei Dongzhu, deputy to the National People's Congress and the dean of the First People's Hospital of Chenzhou City in Hunan Province, believes that the shortcomings exposed by the fight against the epidemic require the whole society to be vigilant. To this end, she made three recommendations.

  One is to tilt medical resources to areas with weak sanitary conditions in rural areas, and strengthen the stock of anti-epidemic substances in county and township health centers, health stations, and village medical centers.

  The second is to raise villagers' awareness of various new, social or other Internet sales models, and beware of fraud and buying fakes. Strengthen the supervision of social e-commerce to avoid the flow of fake goods.

  The third is to prevent and control counterfeit depressions like the epidemic situation, to crack down on the manufacture and sale of counterfeiters like the "Lao Lai", and increase punishment. To avoid the flow of manufacturing and sales of fake molecules on various platforms, leaving a dead end for the sale of fakes.

Yang Li: guide rural rational consumption

  Yang Li, deputy of the National People's Congress and chairman of Hunan Haitai Gardenia Professional Cooperative, reminded that with the rise of social e-commerce platforms and the lack of strict policies and regulations, it is inevitable that some non-compliant products will enter third- and fourth-tier cities and towns. In the consumer market of the village, many social e-commerce companies in the circle of friends, small programs, short video platforms, Pinduoduo, and so on, all broke a lot of fake sales news.

  Yang Li believes that regardless of the development of the e-commerce industry or the consideration of policies, it is urgent to standardize the social e-commerce platform.

  To this end, she submitted relevant recommendations this year: like the prevention and control of epidemic depressions, it is necessary to increase the normalization of counterfeit goods in rural areas. In promoting rural e-commerce and e-commerce poverty alleviation, it also needs to carry out consumer rights protection activities to improve Villagers recognize the awareness of counterfeiting and anti-counterfeiting, and guide rational consumption; they do not sell agricultural products in the lowland of fakes, and improve the quality and brand effect of agricultural products.

  "I appeal to promote the standardized and branded development of rural e-commerce and ensure the food safety of rural farmers. Social e-commerce platforms are by no means extra-legal and should be subject to supervision." (End)
