4,855 Illegal Gas Stations Shut Down
A total of 4,855 gas stations were shut down in 2002 after China launched a tough campaign to rectify the gas station market, according to the State Economic and Trade Commission.

In a joint effort beginning last March, the economic and trade commissions, the construction departments and the industrial and commercial departments at various levels made a thorough inspection on the business qualifications, fire-proofing measures and service quality of all gas stations.

The major breaches of those closed down included the unauthorized use of land, lack of security measures, selling low-quality fuel, giving short weight and tax fraudulence.

The number of gas stations totaled more than 20,000 in 2001.
