The measures for the administration of information reporting and disclosure of direct selling enterprises issued by the Ministry of Commerce stipulates that direct selling enterprises shall disclose the information of direct sellers after their establishment However, the reporter logged into Amway Company's website for several consecutive days and found that the website could not find any information about direct sellers Amway responded that the information disclosure website was temporarily unable to open or slow due to system failure and network instability As of the time of press release, Amway still failed to provide the distributor contract signed with Huang Yanfang Industry insiders said that in normal times, direct sellers are encouraged to pull people's heads by means of indicators, kickbacks and other means, and spare no effort to develop offline After an accident, the responsibility is pushed to the so-called "dealer", which is a trick for many direct selling enterprises to evade responsibility The sudden death of Quan hong'e shows that the public security, industry and Commerce and other regulatory departments should strengthen the management of direct selling enterprises to prevent such tragedies from happening again (end)
