China concerned with excessive packaging

Among such gifts are paintings with gold-laced frames and gold or silver mooncakes. And the pricing and discipline inspection departments have to take strict measures to curb high prices and check the expenses for personal needs, as well as intensify public supervision. Ordinary people cannot even dream of buying high-priced wine, tea and mooncakes even without the exorbitant packaging that increase their prices manyfold. The reason why some people welcome festival gifts laced with luxury packaging and exorbitant prices is that they can gift them to some officials in return for favors without worrying about being accused of paying bribes. To put an end to excessive packaging, the quality control department should strengthen the rules of packaging and see to it that they followed strictly. Because of their prices, luxurious gifts have become a tool for corruption. The government has launched repeated crackdowns to rid the market of luxurious packaging, but the trend still flourishes.
