Despite consumers rights awareness has greatly improved, the performance of the consumers organization also have been greatly improved, but there is still a big gap between consumer protection and the development of the market economy and the interests of consumers. Therefore, there are still the following questions stated as following:First, the admissibility and means to solve problems are limited. Some of the Non-consumer goods transactions lost fast and efficient means of relief and mediation. In addition, due to the delayed legislation, government has not yet developed quality standards for specific products. Three Guarantees are not included in the scope. Second, scattered consumer organizations causes inefficiency. Too many consumer organizations and lacking of united command and control cause financial and human waste. Pushing difficulties to each other and making different interpretation affected the government's credibility.Third, some of national institutions cause inequality. Some natural monopoly departments use unfair and unreasonable contract format (Terms contract), conventional practices against the interests of consumers.Fourth, the construction of market credit system is to be improved.
