Hi teachers,

Could you possibly explain to me the meaning of the phrase in bold type below:

A woman who works at the propaganda department of the quality body, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said that she did not know of White Rabbit candy being recalled in China. She did not give her name, as is common with officials in China.

thank you in advance

This means that it is common for officials to not give their names when talking to the media. This part in bold refers to the first part of the sentence. Hope this helps!
