BEIJING - China's quality supervision agency said on Friday that the country will step up monitoring of six types of exports to crack down on infringements of intellectual property rights and counterfeiting.

The six types of exports include toys, clothes, footwear, small household appliances, furniture and bags, Wang Xin, director of the department of supervision and inspection of the General Administration of Quality, Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said at a meeting.

The country has launched a special campaign to crack down on infringements of intellectual property rights as well as fake and shoddy goods, Wang said.

The crackdown has resulted in the reporting of 33,924 cases of irregularities, the shutdown of 1,200 fake-manufacturing dens and the confiscation of 1.14 billion yuan ($175.38 million) worth of products, he said.
