Report from China: Shanghai Exit-Entry Services Association Issues Warning to Members

On December 27, 2010, Shanghai Exit-Entry Services Association issued a warning notice to all association members that the association will prohibit members to participate in any un-authorized exit-entry industry competition or award events organized by un-authorized entities and organizations.  The association has received numerous complaints that a newspaper publisher was hosting a so called "The Most Trustworthy Exit-Entry Service Agency 2011 Award" event.  Two association members Shanghai Exit-Entry Services Center Co. Ltd., and Shanghai Qiaowai Exit-Entry Co. participated in the competition without filing notice to the Exit-Entry Administration and the Association and have violated membership rules.  The illegal activity has caused damages to the reputation of the city's exit-entry industry. The Exit-Entry Administration of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau is conducting investigations to further punish parties involved in the Award.
