Specifically, the City People's Committee requested effective management of the area, strengthening inspection and supervision of production, business, and import activities, especially for pharmaceuticals and food products, on a regular and continuous basis with the spirit of "working day and night, even on holidays" to promptly detect and strictly handle violators, with the motto "handling one case serves as a warning to the entire region and sector," and "no forbidden areas, no exceptions."

In particular, we must resolutely prevent, combat, and suppress smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods, and intellectual property infringement, especially by strictly and thoroughly dealing with counterfeit medicines and food products to protect the health, lives, rights, and legitimate interests of the people and businesses; and to protect the security and safety of public health.

Identifying the fight against smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods, and intellectual property infringement as a key, long-term, and ongoing task requires continued and decisive involvement from the entire political system, the people, and businesses.
