National Development and Reform Commission / 国家发改委

The National Development and Reform Commission appears in 商业小样46 | 买机票时,为什么总要多交两笔钱? as the Chinese pricing regulator that works with CAAC to set monthly domestic aviation fuel surcharge upper limits. The source uses this role to show that domestic fuel surcharge levels are policy-governed rather than left entirely to airline discretion.
