State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) (国家市场监督管理总局)
A government organ sitting under the State Council in charge of market supervision and administration.
The SAMR is responsible for matters including:
- Market entity registration.
- Commodity prices.
- Anti-monopoly and anti-unfair competition enforcement.
- Commercial bribery.
- Trade marks and patents infringement.
- Food and industrial product safety.
- Drug administration.
- Quality inspection, certification, and accreditation.
(See SAMR website.)
The SAMR was established in April 2018 by consolidating the market supervision responsibilities previously split among several agencies (see Practice note, Understanding the 2018 government institutional reform: China: Market supervision: a mega-sized regulator).
