    Tencent, Alibaba fined in latest China crackdown

    By Agency Staff22 November 2021
    Facebook Twitter LinkedIn WhatsApp Telegram Email

    Alibaba Group, Tencent Holdings and Baidu are among companies that have been ordered to pay a total of C¥21.5-million in fines by China’s competition watchdog, the latest round of penalties in the nation’s ongoing crackdown on monopolies.

    The companies must pay C¥500 000 for each of the 43 antitrust violations, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement on Saturday.

    President Xi Jinping declared his intention in March to go after “platform” companies that amass data to create monopolies and Beijing has been increasing antitrust oversight over China’s sprawling private sector, especially in the digital realm.

    Alibaba was slapped with a US$2.8-billion levy earlier this year for abusing its market dominance, while food-delivery leader Meituan was fined $533-million last month for violating anti-monopoly regulations.  — (c) 2021 Bloomberg LP
