  • Chinese regulators hit Alibaba with a 18.23 billion yuan ($2.8 billion) fine in its anti-monopoly investigation of the tech giant, saying it abused its market dominance.
  • The probe’s main focus was a practice that forces merchants to choose one of two platforms, rather than being able to work with both.
  • The company said in a statement it accepted the penalty and will comply with the regulator’s determination.

Chinese regulators hit Alibaba with a 18.23 billion yuan ($2.8 billion) fine in its anti-monopoly investigation of the tech giant, saying it abused its market dominance.
Regulators opened a probe into the company’s monopolistic practices in December. The investigation’s main focus was a practice that forces merchants to choose one of two platforms, rather than being able to work with both.

In a Saturday statement, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) said this policy stifles competition in China’s online retail market and “infringes on the businesses of merchants on the platforms and the legitimate rights and interests of consumers,” according to a CNBC translation of a Chinese-language statement.

I think the war has started the moment china did the land reclamation in philipino territorial waters. Now they want another shoal even closer to palawan island.

This is purely commercial decision. The Chinese govt is acting in line with international law in carrying out anti-thrust punishment. I don’t see you pussies whining when the American or EU flexed it’s anti-trust muscles.

I think for a c9moany the size 9f slibaba, just as in VW case, this penalty is peanuts. They can easily recoup due to the hefty revenue.

U damn m&d kind of thinking. Lol

The penalty is nothing significant for a company like Alibaba. It’s the meaning behind the penalty that matters. This fine is to tell Alibaba to behave and don’t assume they are untouchable. Any point of time, they criticize the govt, they will get fucked.

And things are going to get a lot worse once the Chinese crypto currency is introduced. Alipay is going to be hit real hard.
