The issue of domestic enterprises' publishing advertisements abroad (including Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao Regions) has already been required and prescribed by the relevant departments under the State Council and in the regulations on administration of advertisements. However, recently, some domestic enterprises published advertisements in Hong Kong without entrusting lawfully qualified advertisement operators or publishers in accordance with the relevant provisions, and some Hong Kong media also undertook and published unapproved advertisements on the products and services of domestic enterprises without entrusting any domestic advertisement company entitled to operate foreign investors' advertisements.
