Comment on "Consumers, how can I make you trust me?" (China Daily website, Jan 12)

The government should take more measures to restore customers' confidence. It should improve laws to ensure that illegal sales practices are punished and consumers' rights are protected. It should also regulate laws to eliminate false information in advertisements.

Moreover, businesspeople who offer bribes and government officials who accept them both should get severe punishment. Government officials involved in abuse of power and other types of corrupt practices should be dealt with severely, too. Besides, the government should also strengthen the administration to guarantee that new laws are implemented properly.
