In this regard, a case is also going on in the court, a long-standing financial dispute with a commercial partner was also urged to be resolved through discussion, the authorities reminded the franchises to pay the fee, the issue of surrogate advertising was not further discussed.

The franchises also once again called for a separate PSL secretariat.
