According to a report released by the China General Chamber of Commerce (CGCC) in May,

Cao Xiaonin, from CGCC, said the huge loss works against efforts to contain rising prices in China. "Theft loss will be calculated into retail prices," Cao said.
Suppliers send promotions representatives to stores and sell products directly to consumers. Peng said stores make a profit from this business method by charging suppliers 20 to 30 percent of the sales revenue generated in stores.

"Retailers might ask suppliers to provide extra products for free or require discounts during the negotiation stage to cover the potential loss," said Peng Jianzhen,

"Under the current method, retail stores will not take theft loss seriously because it does not cost them,

Industry sources say most of the cost would be transferred to suppliers and ultimately to end users. The effect of theft is much higher on suppliers compared with retailers. The CGCC report said that 42 percent of suppliers consider it a "hidden rule" of the industry.
According to the report, the average loss from employee theft was higher than that caused by external theft.
To reduce the loss from theft, Peng said Chinese companies should adopt a Western-style business model, which would make stores take theft loss more seriously. Unlike chain stores in foreign countries,

According to Peng, some famous international companies are spared from sharing the costs. "The companies with strong market presence ask the stores to buy their products, and the stores sell them," said Peng. Some chain stores deny transferring their loss to suppliers.
