China to expose companies breaching product safety rules

China, in a new system, will publicly expose companies that breach safety regulations of products that have close bearing on people's lives, such as food, according to the country's quality supervisor on Tuesday (Jun 16).

China will set up a comprehensive and efficient quality evaluation and rating system within three years, said Sun Bo, head of the quality control department of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

The Administration has created files on the quality control practices of 89,699 companies in 17 categories, Sun said.
