On December 3, it was learned from the Lianyungang Market Supervision Administration in Jiangsu Province that the authority has innovatively established a "vertically integrated and horizontally coordinated" fair competition review and traceability mechanism in recent years. This initiative aims to address challenges such as incomplete rectification of existing policies and blind spots in new policy reviews, significantly improving review quality and efficiency while laying a solid policy foundation for building a unified national market.
In practice, the mechanism leverages the continuity of policies across administrative levels, forming a vertical workflow that traces policy origins upward and conducts comprehensive reviews downward. When non-compliant policy documents are identified through routine reviews, big data monitoring, or public complaints, the relevant industry authorities lead the effort to trace the root cause of the violations step by step.
"After identifying the source of non-compliant policies, our bureau issues traceability notices to local market supervision departments, prompting synchronized rectification of similar violations—resolving one case to eliminate a cluster of issues," explained a representative from the Lianyungang Market Supervision Administration. For instance, upon discovering a county-level quality award evaluation tied to tax payments, the bureau traced the issue to its municipal-level policy origin, clarifying the direction for targeted corrections.
Beyond vertical traceability, the bureau emphasizes horizontal collaboration by integrating resources from multiple departments and leveraging diverse information channels. "We act as a coordination hub, establishing joint mechanisms with functional departments such as the Municipal Government Offices Administration, Culture and Tourism Bureau, and Commerce Bureau, as well as local market supervision authorities, to enable information sharing and coordinated rectification," the representative added. By consolidating and analyzing clues from routine reviews, public reports, and big data monitoring, the bureau efficiently identifies high-risk areas like quality awards, official vehicle leasing, and investment promotion, enhancing the precision and coverage of investigations.
To ensure effective implementation, the Lianyungang Market Supervision Administration has established a closed-loop management system covering problem identification, traceability, verification, rectification, and supervision. Under this framework, the bureau oversees follow-up actions, employing measures such as interviews with non-compliant entities to reinforce accountability. This mechanism has already facilitated the rectification of cross-level and cross-regional policy violations during recent provincial inspections.
