It is not uncommon to be fined for alleged monopoly. Alibaba was fined RMB 18.228 billion by the relevant departments for abusing its dominant position in the domestic online retail platform service market. Tianjin Tianyao Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. was also fined 44 million for anti-monopoly reasons. At the same time, the merger of Huya and Betta led by Tencent was also banned. Now, Meituan has been fined 3.442 billion yuan for alleged monopoly, which undoubtedly demonstrates the country's determination to implement the anti-monopoly policy.

So in what way did Meituan monopolize, which led it to be fined 3.442 billion yuan? We can know from WeChat official account of relevant departments and media reports that Meituan used its dominant position in the take-away platform to put pressure on foreign sellers, which made them sign exclusive cooperation agreements with Meituan. That is to say, if a merchant wants to put his own goods on the Meituan platform, then he can't sell goods on other takeaway platforms, and he can only cooperate with a platform of Meituan.

At the same time, Meituan also uses its own advantages to collect cooperation deposits from merchants and implement differential rates. At the same time, we use related big data and algorithms to take different punishment measures, so as to gain more profits, squeeze the market, and limit the benign development of the market, without using fair competition and further stimulating market vitality.

In view of the various illegal operations of Meituan, the relevant departments finally imposed an administrative penalty on it: "Ordering Meituan to stop the illegal act of" choosing between two "and imposing a fine of 3% of its domestic sales revenue in 2121, amounting to 3.442 billion yuan. At the same time, an "Administrative Instruction" was issued to Meituan, requiring it to carry out comprehensive rectification around improving the platform commission charging mechanism and algorithm rules, safeguarding the legitimate interests of small and medium-sized catering businesses in the platform, and strengthening the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of takeaway riders, and submit a self-inspection compliance report to the General Administration of Market Supervision for three consecutive years to ensure that the rectification is in place and achieve standardized, innovative, healthy and sustainable development. "

Meituan sincerely accepts this and resolutely implements it. It will take this as a warning, better obey and serve the overall situation of economic and social development, and strive to make more contributions to society. In this regard, Xiao Bian wants to say that such punishment is indeed necessary, which can effectively maintain the fair competition order among industries. At the same time, we also hope to see the US Mission truly "turn over a new leaf", make more contributions to social and economic development, and better serve the people.

industry monopoly has always been a social scene that we don't want to see, because there are too many disadvantages of industry monopoly. Industry monopoly is the biggest enemy of market economy, which will lead to the loss of fair competition environment and lack of innovation in the market, and make people's quality of life decline. If Meituan is allowed to monopolize the market, it will inevitably make its one "monopoly" in the take-away industry, making the profits of merchants and riders less and less, the user's experience feeling getting worse and worse, and the whole industry will also lack vitality and innovation, which is not conducive to social development.
