From an article on China Daily:
Wang Yi, a law professor of Remin University said arbitrary deprivation of peddlers, including unlicensed ones of their wares by any government department or individual is not allowed by current laws. According to statistics from some scholars, “Chengguan” has 14 functions and more than 300 kinds of power, none of which, however, is endowed by law but transformed from those of industry and commerce administrations and public security bureaus.
