This serves as a warning to all platform companies that whether its a simple and direct "choose one of two" approach or a more complex and hidden "technology + ecosystem + behavior" composite monopoly, none can escape the sword of anti-monopoly. Regulatory authorities will not allow any form of abuse of market dominance to exclude or restrict competition. The Trip.com monopoly case is another significant landmark case in the normalized anti-monopoly supervision of the platform economy. It is the first case of a new type of monopolistic behavior and a typical example of in-depth rectification of "involutionary" competition, promoting win-win development for platform companies and operators/workers within the platform. It is of great significance for promoting the innovation and healthy development of my countrys platform economy and high-quality economic and social development.
