Selling electric cables that do not meet national standards, using the name of a factory to sell fertilizer, tampering with quality inspection results, illegally modifying products... Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation exposed a batch of typical cases of illegal competition in the quality field, warning production and sales units to strictly implement their quality and safety responsibilities and actively create a safe and reliable consumption environment. There are various factors that have led to the "internal competition" in the quality field. Structural imbalance between supply and demand forces existing companies to compete in a limited market space for survival; some companies focus on immediate benefits, lack innovation and differentiation awareness, are accustomed to cost-cutting and price wars, and even deliberately engage in fraud and counterfeit, disregarding legal bottom lines; some regulatory mechanisms in certain fields are still imperfect, providing loopholes for some companies. If this "lose-lose" situation is not stopped, it can easily lead to a vicious cycle. It is necessary to strengthen market access management, focus on the supply side, raise market entry barriers, and prevent low-quality malicious competition. It is also important to guide companies to strengthen technological research and development, improve product quality, optimize service experiences, and truly enhance their competitiveness. Improving the market competition mechanism is not something that can be achieved overnight, and the fight against "internal competition" in the quality field requires concerted and persistent efforts from all parties.
