Wang Xiaoye, director of the Economic Law Research Office of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that under the circumstances that the evidence of the national development and Reform Commission has been confirmed, there is no problem in punishing enterprises, and at present many enterprises have admitted to breaking the law, and have indicated and implemented rectification measures She said that at present, vertical anti-monopoly price manipulation is common in the Chinese market, and this investigation and punishment of the milk powder industry may give some warning to other industries The national development and Reform Commission should not let the case go ■ in the first half of this year, the price of imported milk powder rose and fell On the one hand, the retail price of canned milk powder of foreign brands in China rose rapidly On the other hand, according to the data released by the General Administration of Customs yesterday, the price of imported milk powder in China declined in the first half of this year, while the import volume rose by more than 20% At yesterday's conference, a reporter asked, "will the anti-monopoly investigation launched against some foreign milk powder have an impact on China's imported milk powder?"
