The first batch of 100,000 signs prohibiting the sale of alcohol to teenagers has been distributed to shopping malls, supermarkets and various convenience stores across Beijing.

Jinyuan Yansha Mall was the first to put up the sign, and other retailers say they are working with local alcohol distributors and government agencies to monitor that alcohol is not sold to people under 18 years old.

According to the Regulations on Alcohol Circulation and Management issued by the Ministry of Commerce, alcohol sellers should not sell alcohol to minors, or they will be fined up to RMB2000.
