The Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of Guangzhou Municipality and China International Electronic Commerce Center have jointly launched Guangzhou's first state-level regional e-commerce platform called, simply, "Guangzhou International E-commerce Platform".

According to the BBC, the Indian government has announced that they would allow imports of Chinese toys that have been certified by global safety organizations.

During a review of children's apparel, toys and stationery before the International Children's Day, Guangzhou Municipal Quality Inspection Bureau found that about 30% of children's apparel sold in the Guangzhou market is substandard.

Since August this year, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China has been conducting a thorough check on all the toy exporters of the country and says it has revoked the export qualifications of 1074 toy makers.
