Why, is the Chinese government big on preventing businesses there from misleading consumers?

This case is not, from what I understand, about preventing people from making or running PPC engines. It is simply about honesty in advertising. Search engines, like any other U.S. businesses, are not allowed to mislead consumers about the service that they are offering.

Imagine if the FTC decided to go after adult paysites for bogus advertising in tour pages. Most pay sites I've ever seen the inside of would either be shut down or fined severely.
