The most recent inspection results show that Taobao's certified products rate was only just over 37 percent, the lowest rate among China's major shopping websites.

The results from the Administration for Industry and Commerce are for the second half of 2014.

But Taobao has fired back, saying the company features over a billion products online and the AIC inspected only 51 samples, suggesting the inspection results are not based on significant numbers.

The company further questioned the transparency and fairness of the inspection process.

AIC has responded that it conducted its inspections according to the law, and the current inspection process is an important tool in estimating market risk and cracking down on illegal companies.
