Publishing internal materials requires strict approval; unauthorized printing is a violation. Recently, the Fuzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism investigated a related case. A company printed internal training materials without approval from the news and publishing administrative department and was fined 10,000 yuan.

Fuzhou Education Technology Co., Ltd. mainly provides training for trainers at training institutions. During routine inspections, cultural market law enforcement officers found that the training materials printed by the company during trainer training were internal publications, not approved by the news and publishing administrative department, and did not have the “Internal Materials Printing Permit.”

The company’s actions violated the relevant provisions of the “Regulations on the Management of Internal Publications.” Based on relevant regulations, the Fuzhou Bureau of Culture and Tourism imposed a fine of 10,000 yuan.
