Previously, the city's industry and commerce authorities had taken some
measures, including posting notices forbidding the sale of fake brand names and
confiscating some pirated goods.
A poll on 1,800 local citizens also showed that the majority of them
supported the government's decision to close the market, believing the move can
improve the image of this metropolis.
Closing the Xiangyang Road market will contribute a better market
environment, but the production and sale of fake goods will not disappear
without the government's long-term work to stamp it out, said a local lawyer.
