Since the State Council approved the establishment of the "Chinese Brands Day" in 2017, brand awareness has been widely increased among the public and branding has become strategically important for the nation. It bears significance not only for the transformation of the manufacturing industry, but also for upgrading the consumption structure.

Shandong has established an improved incentive mechanism for trustworthiness and a punishment mechanism for dishonesty in order to enhance the brand reputation and competitiveness of "Shandong Good Products".
