Abstract

Practising restriction, as an important social governance tool, is not only a means of administrative management, but also an administrative punishment measure. By restricting the qualifications of specific subjects to engage in specific professions or industries within a certain period of time, it aims to maintain public safety, market order, and safeguard the professionalism and ethical standards of specific industries. For example, in the fields of drug management, food safety and financial services, the imposition of restrictions on the practice of lawbreakers helps to prevent risks and protect the public interest. However, restrictions on the exercise of a profession are directly related to the fundamental rights of citizens, in particular the right to freedom of occupation and the right to work, which are guaranteed by the Constitution, and restrictions on the exercise of such a profession must be defined at the legal and jurisprudential level and in strict compliance with the principle of the rule of law.
