The provincial government of Sichuan recently began to revise regulations on the alcoholic beverage industry, one of the province's most competitive sectors. Government officials said the revision will strengthen supervision and enhance the intellectual property protection with respect to local alcoholic products to improve the market order. Officials from provincial departments of quality supervision and commerce as well as alcohol-related sectors will make proposals for the revision. The draft will be submitted to the standing committee of the provincial people's congress in September.
