Hanoi authorities have fined the facility owned by Tran Thi Kim Hoa in Bat Trang Commune, Gia Lam District for selling 35 tea sets with the names of Party Secretary and State President Nguyen Phu Trong and Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc written on as if the products are the gifts given by the officials on the occasion of the Lunar New Year or Tet.
