Seven Departments: Strengthen Supervision and Law Enforcement in E-commerce to Correct Unordered Competition Behaviors Such as 'Automatic Price Matching' and 'Lowest Price Online'

36Kr reports that the Ministry of Commerce and six other departments have issued a notice on implementing the 'Five Excellent Actions' for Quality E-commerce, which proposes coordinated rectification of irrational competition. The measures include strengthening supervision and law enforcement in e-commerce to correct unordered behaviors such as 'automatic price matching' and 'lowest price online,' standardizing platform commission structures and merchant rating rules to avoid squeezing out quality merchants, cracking down on illegal acts like fake orders and fabricated reviews, and establishing a dialogue mechanism between e-commerce platforms and small and medium-sized merchants to address operational challenges and promote win-win development.
