BEIJING/SHANGHAI: China is gearing up to skewer companies it accuses of treating consumers badly in a yearly event that has previously named and shamed firms from Apple to Nike Inc. 

The state-run China Central Television (CCTV) will on the evening of March 15 broadcast its annual consumer rights show, similar to CBS network's 60 Minutes in the United States, that tends to be a mix of undercover reports and song-and-dance routine.
