Some TV channels claimed that they had stopped airing the advertisements of Happy Shopping, a shopping company that has been under public scrutiny for advertising low-quality products.

According to Dao Kim Phu, head of the southern branch of the Administration of Broadcasting and Electronic Information under the Ministry of Information and Communications, many TV channels said they had stopped airing Happy Shopping’s programs after being required to report on its violations.
