Abstract generation in progress

Today, the Market Supervision Administration issued the “Notice on Strengthening the Regulation of Promotional Language in Advertising” (hereinafter referred to as the “Notice”), deploying a six-month campaign to clean up and rectify related advertising chaos.

The “Notice” outlines six key tasks:

  • Rectify misleading “large and small font” advertisements
  • Legally investigate advertisements that do not prominently display promotional language
  • Legally investigate illegal use of absolute language in advertisements
  • Strengthen regulation of citation advertising
  • Enhance supervision of advertisers’ self-certification of ad content
  • Strengthen regulation of major advertising media

All levels of market supervision departments are required to intensify efforts to clean up and rectify marketing irregularities such as “eye-catching large fonts with small disclaimers,” “arbitrary claims of being the first, original, or best,” “radish pit-style citations,” and the downplaying of information unfavorable to consumers. They must resolutely investigate and punish illegal advertising behaviors that seriously deceive and mislead consumers or disrupt market order, actively promote high-quality advertising resources and high-quality products, ease advertisers’ “marketing anxiety,” and guide all parties involved in advertising to abandon “wordplay” style advertising.
