CHONGQING, Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- Officials with the Chongqing Municipal government said on Tuesday that the business management of Wal-Mart may be "problematic" after 13 Wal-Mart stores in the city were closed temporarily and fined over a case of product mislabeling.

The local government ordered the stores to close for 15 days and fined the company 2.69 million yuan (421,894.58 U.S. dollars) after the stores were found to be selling ordinary pork labelled as organic pork, the Chongqing Administration of Industry and Commerce said on Sunday.

Don't mess with the Chinese authorities!
