Meituan was investigated for alleged monopoly. According to news reports, the monopolistic behavior involved by Meituan was mainly aimed at the two-choice policy of merchants. Meituan uses various agreements to let merchants choose one. In other words, after entering the platform of Meituan, merchants can't enter other platforms, and they are also euphemistically called exclusive. This means involves monopolistic behavior. Infringed on consumers' right to choose independently, so Meituan was investigated. ? First, Meituan is not the first company to be investigated.

In fact, before the US delegation, Alibaba, a well-known enterprise, was fined 18.2 billion yuan and ordered to stop its monopolistic behavior because it forced its merchants to choose between Taobao and JD.COM platforms, which violated their right to choose independently, violated the interests of merchants and affected the interests of consumers. The US Mission, which did not learn from Alibaba's experience of being punished, still forced the settled merchants to choose one, so it was finally investigated. Second, the US delegation asked the merchants to choose one.

according to the general administration of market supervision, meituan forced merchants to choose between meituan platform and hungry platform. According to the law, forcing merchants to choose one is a reflection of the willful and disorderly expansion of capital in the economic field. Long-term unhealthy development will definitely undermine the fairness of market competition order and damage the legitimate rights and interests of merchants and consumers in the platform, so this behavior must be severely punished. Third, the US Mission restricts business freedom. ?

according to the survey, meituan has some bad measures, such as raising the service charge standard and forcibly closing online stores, to restrict the business freedom of merchants, which has constituted unfair competition in the market economy. The US Mission lost the first-instance judgment. However, the US Mission refuses to accept the first-instance judgment and is ready to continue to appeal. Although the second-instance judgment has not yet come down, I hope that the US Mission will recognize the reality and stop making unnecessary struggles.
