Against the backdrop of reform, opening-up, and the construction of a socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics, market entities across various industries and economic sectors actively engage in market activities, providing continuous momentum for economic development in China and globally. However, certain market operators commit price violations during operations, significantly undermining the role of prices in rationally allocating resources, destabilizing the overall market price level, infringing upon the legitimate rights of consumers or other operators, and hindering the healthy development of the socialist market economy.
Common price violations include fabricating and spreading price hike information, as well as substantially raising prices without significant changes in production or procurement costs for the purpose of seeking exorbitant profits.
CnOpenData compiles administrative penalty records for price violations by Chinese enterprises in recent years, encompassing fields such as enterprise name, penalty date, cause of penalty (处罚事由), and penalty authority (处罚单位), thereby facilitating related research.
