警惕！网购进口商品41%质量不合格！

"More than 40 percent of consumer goods exported to China last year through e-commerce platforms fell short of standards, "China’s top quality watchdog said on Wednesday, World Consumer Rights Day.

Last year, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine did random quality inspections on 1,013 batches of such products, including consumer goods such as toys, paper diapers, clothing and kitchenware, with 415 found to be substandard. That is to say 41 percent of all sampled products are short of standards.

The quality of consumer goods imported through channels other than e-commerce proved to be higher, with only 29 percent falling short of standards, according to figures released by the administration. It organized two large-scale inspections last year, including more than 5,300 batches of imported consumer goods, such as air purifiers, car brake blocks, family electrical appliances and clothes, with more than 1,500 found to be substandard.

"Quality supervision authorities at all levels must check carefully and make the ones who break the laws punished to improve the quality of products and protect consumers’ rights," said an official of the administration.

Last year, quality check authorities across China handled 36,000 cases relating to breaking of laws on quality standards, the worth of which is 2.3 billion yuan ($333 million). China’s import and export amount through e-commerce platforms reached 4.8 trillion yuan in 2015, a 28 percent year-on-year increase, according to a report released by AliResearch. "China’s foreign trade amount through e-commerce channels is expected to reach 12 trillion yuan by 2020, which is more than one-third of the country’s total foreign trade, "the report said.
