General Administration of Market Supervision: Comprehensive use of various anti-unfair competition measures to prevent and control "internal volume" competition in key industries and fields such as platform economy and new energy vehicles.
On March 30, the General Administration of Market Supervision issued a notice on further implementing the the People's Republic of China Anti-Unfair Competition Law. The notice mentioned comprehensive measures to address “involutionary” competition. By comprehensively employing various anti-unfair competition measures, we will focus on preventing and addressing “involutionary” competition in key industries and sectors such as the platform economy, photovoltaics, lithium-ion batteries, and new energy vehicles. Accurately identify and, in accordance with the law, investigate and address cases in which platform enterprises, without justifiable reasons, use search rankings, business reviews, algorithmic controls, traffic restrictions, delisting of products, increased fees, delayed payment terms, suspension of transactions, internal disciplinary measures, or other means — or engage in subsidy programs, promotions, red-envelope giveaways, discounts, “spend-and-save” offers, “buy-one-get-one-free” deals, and other promotional activities — to compel, directly or indirectly, operators on their platforms to sell goods at prices below cost, thereby disrupting the order of market competition. When determining whether a specific case constitutes a violation of the law, it is necessary to comprehensively consider various factors, including the nature of the transaction object, the scale and type of production, market and sales conditions, production efficiency and technology, as well as the quality of goods or services. Strengthen the responsibilities and obligations of platform operators in addressing unfair competition practices; urge platforms to clearly define fair competition rules for operators within the platform, establish dedicated working mechanisms, accept reports and complaints, effectively handle disputes, promptly take necessary measures to address unfair competition, and maintain relevant records while reporting to law enforcement authorities. Prevent platform operators from improperly interfering with the independent business operations of merchants on the platform through flawed review and management practices.
