The central government has pledged to combat fake and shoddy products by monitoring local governments' efforts to counteract them as part of their annual achievement appraisals.
Following a string of food safety and piracy scandals, the State Council has announced plans to build up incentive mechanisms designed to tackle infringements of intellectual copyright and counterfeit products.
Analysts said the crackdown on pirated goods comes after mounting international pressure.
The central government's focus will be on food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, farming materials, construction materials, electrical and mechanical products and automobile parts, and on efforts to protect copyright, trademarks and patents in various industries.
Infringements of intellectual property rights (IPR) and the preponderance of fake goods are a major challenge for the central government and an embarrassment for Beijing internationally.
Analysts also said these counterfeit products were a threat to social stability.
China was on a priority watch list included in last year's annual review of IPR protection and enforcement by the Office of the United States Trade Representative.
