TVI Express is operating illegally in China

Chinese Law requires all MLM's to register itself and to prove it is NOT a pyramid scheme. The national-level State Administration of Industry and Commerce (SAIC) has a specific "Direct Selling Regulation Bureau" that licenses MLMs. So far, TVI Express has NOT registered itself and been approved, according to news report. (alternate translation)

What's more, Shangtong's Gongshangbu (Ministry of Labor and Commerce) is also investigating TVI Express, in addition to previously reported investigation by Zhejiang authorities, according to this Chinese journalist's report.

This journalist posed as a potential member and chatted up an existing TVI Express member online, and gotten an inside look on how TVI Express works. It's nothing new, but it's just as damning otherwise.

In Wuxi, another part of China, police are also after the scammers using TVI Express to fleece people out of over 300000 RMB.

In Wuhua, Yunnan Province, yet another part of China, police raided a hotel room where TVI Express boosters are trying to spread the word and fleece more victims.

In Xiapu, Fujian Province, police have, with help of Shanghai police, arrested a TVI Express recruiter who has taken over 4.7 MILLION RMB from various victims. 

I can go on and on, but I won't. The point is China says TVI Express is illegal. And if one country says it is, perhaps... other countries may follow.
