Which department is in charge of mobile vendors?

Generally managed by urban management or industrial and commercial departments. If it affects traffic, the traffic police department can also manage it. If it affects the environment, the environmental protection department can also impose restrictions. If it affects food safety, the Food and Drug Administration can also manage it.

The existence of mobile vendors is reasonable, but illegal. The exposure draft solves this contradiction, provides a legal, secure and supportive business environment for mobile vendors, helps to encourage vulnerable groups to start businesses, creates smooth employment channels, and helps to alleviate the sharp contradiction between urban management departments and mobile vendors. The provisions of the exposure draft only open a hole for the legitimate operation of mobile vendors. In order to truly realize the harmonious and orderly operation, it is necessary for the relevant administrative departments to effectively shift their thinking from management and suppression to service.

The exposure draft stipulates that vendors without fixed business premises should engage in business activities in areas designated or allowed by the local people's government or the administrative department for industry and commerce. However, there is no clear stipulation in the draft for comment on how to demarcate areas, how to examine and approve the business scope of mobile vendors, whether they can move between different demarcated areas, and whether they need to pay taxes.
