June 6 to 17, Shaodong County Commission, the county government in accordance with the central government and the relevant spirit of the provinces and municipalities, completely banned this market.
Shaodong book market was finally banned outlawed, but left us many lessons, many thoughts.
The proliferation of illegal books and magazines, many times the rectification of the repeated ban
Shaodong book market is the earliest in September 1996, the completion of the Xinghua book market, Xinghua book market was built in the early
period, individual operators from Changsha, Wuhan, Zhengzhou and other places to buy goods, the price of the real thing. Because of the book business profits
higher, many people through the family and friends department, began to join them. As the book market swelled, it gradually became fish-eyed and mixed
ju, and illegal pirated books proliferated, quickly leading to the development of a number of local workshops of illegal printing enterprises
industry, which pirated books and magazines on a large scale, and fabricated and reprinted three types of prohibited publications, namely, political, obscene, and feudal and superstitious publications.
The chaos in Shaodong's book market has long attracted great attention from the central government and Hunan Province, and in 1999,
the national Anti-Pornography and Anti-African-Prohibition Committee listed it as one of the country's eight key areas for remediation, and the provincial Press and Publication Bureau and Shaoyang City sent a working group to straighten out the market, canceling the operation of more than 60 illegal and illicit businesses. More than 60 unlicensed and illegal operators of pirated, obscene and
political books and magazines were canceled. The provincial Anti-Pornography and Anti-Frivolity Office and the Press and Publication Administration approved the issuance of business licenses to the remaining 142 households. Some of those cleared from the market have become underground traders,
most of whom rent in residential neighborhoods in the county and continue to engage in illegal piracy and pirated printing activities.
Policy deviation gives opportunity for profit motive to take risks
A reporter asked a local citizen how many times Shaodong book market has been checked. He said disdainfully: every day
in check. Every day in the check, but why the illegal publications are repeated?
First, the guiding ideology of "get on the bus first, buy a ticket later" gives illegal booksellers a chance to take advantage of the situation. Shaodong County
Publicity Department Minister Liu Xiaoyun said that in recent years, the county believes that as long as the local economic development, other problems can be
solved. That in the resource-poor inland counties, to attract investment, economic development, you have to "let the water feed the fish",
"First on the bus, after the ticket", as far as possible to create a relaxed business environment.
Some officials in Shaodong County have thought for some time that there are pirated books and magazines for sale wherever there is a book market in the country.
It is not easy to form a book market in the county, and it is not easy for them to seize it, and the booksellers will operate pirated books and magazines elsewhere as usual, but they will only lose the opportunity to develop the local economy at the end of the day.
A comrade from the propaganda department of the Shaodong County Party Committee said that the relevant departments were prepared to resume the suspended and reorganized
Shaodong Book and Magazine Market on May 18, and only after the Deng Haiqing case had occurred did they resolve to shut down the market. But at the market, which was originally scheduled to be resumed,
reporters found that pirated books were still being sold openly during unannounced visits.
Secondly, there are many difficulties in regulating the underground trade of "traveling merchants". When the reporter visited Shaodong, a taxi
car driver said, "Although the book market is closed, those operators will sit at the door, and if you want any books, he
will take you to the warehouse inside to get them."
A person familiar with the matter revealed that the quality of some management personnel is not high, and individual personnel even act as the umbrella of illegal book
publication operators, and some individual operators are also very social relations, and sometimes the cultural inspection team to find out
cases have not yet been dealt with, and the operators are looking for leaders to intercede, resulting in the treatment of difficult to put in place.
Shaodong in recent years, the rapid development of the private economy, to the old management system has brought great impact. Some management
departmental functions are misplaced, absent, some cadres can not keep up with the development of the needs of the situation, some law enforcement
staff power is not equipped with a corresponding increase in the supervision of the market appears to be incompetent.
Related sources said, in the whole "counterfeiting economy" under the influence of the county market for books and magazines due to bring
movement, some individual workshop-type illegal printing presses came into being, large-scale piracy of books and magazines, fabrication, reprinting of political
, obscene, feudal superstitions three types of prohibited publications.
According to reports, pirated books are made on low-quality paper, using smelly, low-priced ink, minimizing page numbers,
tax evasion, and for reasons such as cheap rural labor, the cost of production is very small, and the booksellers make more money. Shaodong pirated book operators with medium incomes of about 100,000 yuan a year generally do not lose money unless they are investigated and punished
