Nike Has Been Punished For Interrogation Of Double Standards Of Foreign Brands. Netizens Say They Should Increase Fines.

Nike was fined.

A few days ago, the media disclosed that Nike was selling basketball for a price of up to 1299 yuan.

The "double standard" was fined 4 million 870 thousand yuan by the Beijing industrial and commercial bureau.

As soon as the news came out, Nike quickly became a new conversation for netizens.

However, because of this "violation of the rights and interests of consumers" is too unkind, netizens' attitude towards Nike is almost on the side of denouncing, and many netizens even complain that "punishment is too light".

Of course, some netizens have been deeply thinking and asking questions: what are the reasons that spoiled the international brands and let them perform "double standards" without incident?

Netizens insist on fine Nike

If it were not for industrial and commercial open days, the story of Nike being fined 4 million 870 thousand yuan may still be unknown.

In October 25th, the Beijing industrial and commercial bureau and the 17 industrial and commercial sub Bureau of the city held an industrial and commercial open day to the public. Nike's case of infringement of consumers' rights and interests was fortunate to be a typical case of a visitor.

According to the introduction, Nike sold a high-end basketball shoe with a price of up to 1299 yuan last year. One of the main selling points is the double air cushion with front and rear palms. Although the same publicity and price are several hundred yuan higher than that of foreign countries, Chinese consumers only have one air cushion to buy their hands.

Beijing Municipal Bureau of industry and Commerce believes that Nike's "double standards" on products can not be tolerated. The commerce and Industry Bureau finally imposed a fine of 4 million 870 thousand yuan on Nike.

The news was repercussion on the Internet once it was reported by the media.

"Nike's PR is not in place this year."

Netizen "Waying66" jokes.

"The industry and Commerce Bureau has done a serious business."

Netizens "compassion masters" do not forget to do evil things.

Netizens "little narrowing eyes V" seriously said: "Nike this thing is too disgusting, boycott."

Although the netizens paid a fine applause to Nike, which was fined by the industry and Commerce Bureau, they also agreed that the fines should be "more powerful".

Netizens "LFE- flame" shouted: "ah, ah, 4 million 870 thousand yuan is about 730 thousand yuan, but for a world-class sports brand, this money is not enough to shoot an advertisement!"

"A pair of shoes will be sold for more than 500 yuan. What is the equivalent of 4 million 870 thousand yuan fine? Tens of millions of dollars abroad and hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign countries are fines."

Netizens "innovation" 007 also said.

In contrast, Nike's "pay a fine like this is more like a scratch", so it is inevitable that some netizens are worried that this move will not play a role.

Some netizens began to worry about the whereabouts of fines.

Netizen "Suki Xiaofeng" asked, "is it 4 million 870 thousand yuan to compensate the consumers who have already bought these shoes? Or is it turned over to the state treasury? As a keen citizen, I think we all want to know the whereabouts and use of these fines."

False propaganda is the main cause.

"Rub, which Mercedes Benz and BMW are not twice as expensive as the US.

Hurry up and check! Don't selectively enforce the law. "

Netizen "Shenzhen old Min" appealed to the industry and Commerce Bureau to win the battle.

"Auto makers, tremble."

Netizen "muslimen" followed jokes.

As a matter of fact, although Nike has done a lot of things to be "unreliable", it has become a consensus, but there are still some different opinions on the punishment basis of the industry and Commerce Bureau.

Netizens "do not go back to youth" said: "this is a bit done.

Who provides a price for the same commodity around the world? Price is determined by supply and demand. "

Netizen "Wu Lun Yu Xiu" also said: "never heard that the world must sell at the same price. What is the basis of law enforcement?"

Netizens "Wang Jian fed Federal Reserve" is also puzzled: "dumping may be subject to additional duties, sold expensive, fined and really do not understand why.

Apple products are more expensive in Hongkong than in mainland China. Are they all right? "

"Shi Di Wen Chen" even disdain to say: "want punishment on punishment, find a reason for punishment, the heaven and the industry and commerce."

However, some netizens soon pointed out that the trade and Industry Bureau actually had a reasonable basis for punishment.

Netizens "windyscape" put forward: if

Propaganda is a double gasket, and there is only one, so it should be punished.

"At present, Chinese law has no direct requirement for the" double standard "of the price and quality of foreign brands at home and abroad.

Some commentaries also pointed out that the direct cause of Nike's punishment was false propaganda rather than "double standards".

"Why is China's car more expensive than foreign countries, and the configuration is more than less than one air cushion, or even fewer airbags, but our development and Reform Commission and industry and Commerce Bureau are indifferent?"

It is worth thinking deeply about the difference between inside and outside.

Netizens also found that not only Nike, many foreign brands sold a price in their own country, but they sold another price in China, which is an industry standard in China, and it is another standard in China.

Moreover, these double standards of foreign brands cover daily necessities, electronic products, food, automotive and other fields.

For example, since 2009, Johnson products have been recalled 25 times in various countries, but these recalls do not involve China at all.

So, some netizens asked, "what is the reason for them to implement double standards? Yuan Fang, what do you think?"

Netizen "DrWangPing" replied: "I'm afraid I have to do with those who blindly admire the ocean."

"Businessmen all over the world know that Chinese people are stupid, rich and fast."

Netizens "Maitreya F" echoed.

"Of course, because the people here are stupid and have lots of money, the industrial environment and business atmosphere are so bad that they are worse than the VAT tanks. It is not creepy to seduce people in the" do in Rome as the Romans do "and make money with smart money.

Netizens "Li Jiajia Audrey" added.

Netizens "agriculture Zen son" thinks, "the fundamental reason is that China's taxes and fees are too heavy, and the hidden costs of the enterprises are too high, so they can only balance profits from the shrinkage and high price.

Chinese products are also more expensive in China than in other countries, and this is also the reason. "

Netizens "Shi Ping Ping" agreed: "also say that people go out to buy crazy is purely purchasing power, cheap outside is the most important reason."

There are also media from the depths of analysis, pointing out that the "double standards" behind, in fact, different countries and regions have double standards in the law - compared to foreign countries, the illegal cost in China is too low.

In addition, in the field of law enforcement, the selective enforcement of law has made it possible for some enterprises to easily enforce law enforcement officers through some channels that are not pparent.

"Enterprise is the product of the system, of course, it will be opportunistic to neglect Chinese consumers.

To enable Chinese consumers to enjoy equal services, China's consumer protection system must be promoted to an international standard.

However, upgrading domestic product and service standards means that all domestic enterprises should apply a unified high standard, which is also a test.

The commentary also pointed out that in addition to national legislation and administrative enforcement, the eradication of "double standards" requires well-developed civil rights protection organizations and public interest litigation systems.

In addition, the functional departments should also know how to "let go" for the collective rights protection of the private sector, and the judicial departments should also support them in practice.

The legitimate demands of those who really hurt the unscrupulous businessmen can make them dare not to "double standards".

Netizens also put forward many good suggestions. Netizens "under the forest" call on the Chinese people to consume rationally, and "support more domestic products".

Of course, it is undeniable that China's manufacturing still has a long way to go.
