The country is expected to review the achievements of the four-month campaign in late December or early in January, according to Li.
In the past two days, inspectors fanned out to 11 Guangdong cities to check 18 drug and medical apparatus producers, 12 drug wholesalers and retailers, 13 export companies, 37 food and other daily consumer goods suppliers as well as nine local quality watchdogs and their testing institutions.
Wu herself inspected a toy factory, a drug producer and an aquatic product company in Guangdong, a province responsible for one third of the country's total import and export.
"The provincial government will hold the manager of a company as the first person accountable in the event of any quality crisis and dispatched special supervisors to most of its pharmaceutical factories," Wu said after her inspection tour in Guangdong.
She also called for the promotion of good practices for product quality control, such as the computerized monitoring network adopted by Guangdong Province, which currently covers 6,500 manufacturers.
"The network has not only enabled the authorities to carry out real-time checks, but also allowed consumers to go online to check product information," said Wu.
