--FILE--A pedestrian walks past an advertisement for Muji in Jiangbei district, Chongqing, China, 28 July 2018. A branch store of the Japanese retailer MUJI in Beijingreportedly refused to allow sampling inspection of its products by the local industrial and commercial authority on September 21. The Beijing Municipal Administration of Industry and Commerce had entrusted the Beijing Products Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute to carry out the sampling inspection of the products sold at the store. However, the shop manager refused to cooperate with the investigation and denied any information on the store's inventory. It was only after the law enforcement officers showed their certificates and permissions the shop manager finally agreed to the inspection and took them to the furniture area. However, only one piece of furniture was found in the area and other products which awaited inspections were not displayed. During a previous inspection, the furniture in this MUJI store was found unqualified, according to the local inspectors. Also, the store refused to let the inspectors check any information regarding previously inspected products in the store's database. However, as the inspectors insisted to do so, the store eventually allowed and no records on the product information were found in the system, which was not in compliance with the regulations.
