China News Service, Beijing, December 21. Regarding the statement of the Central Economic Work Conference on strengthening anti-monopoly and preventing the disorderly expansion of capital, the "People's Political Consultative Conference" quoted the interpretation and analysis of many members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference on the 21st, pointing out that the central government has recently issued a series of policies. And many statements have shown that the era of anti-monopoly "strong supervision" has come.
Tan Jianfeng, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, believes that the Internet economy and Internet platforms have grown rapidly under the impetus of capital over the past decade.
Some super-platforms use strong financial strength to merge companies in various related industries. This process will abuse market dominance, restrict and eliminate competition, especially for small and medium-sized operators who have not entered their systems, and greatly restrict market activity. Sexuality and diversity restrict long-term innovative development.
He emphasized that anti-monopoly and anti-unfair competition are very important for the sound and sustainable development of the market. This is an important prerequisite for keeping the market vigorous and for the balanced and long-term innovative development of enterprise groups, especially SMEs.
According to Wang Jiguang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, with the accelerated development of the Internet and a new generation of information technology, the platform economy led by big data and intelligent platforms has shown signs of "leader takes all" monopoly and signs of risk. Laissez-faire and weakened supervision will not only hinder China's important industries and technological progress, but will even affect the stability and safety of important sectors and industries of the national economy and people's livelihood.
Zan Baoshi, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, pointed out that the central government has recently issued anti-monopoly policies one after another and has repeatedly strengthened anti-monopoly statements, showing that the era of anti-monopoly "strong supervision" has come.
Strengthening anti-monopoly is not only an important means for fulfilling corporate legal responsibilities, maintaining fair market competition, and protecting consumers' legitimate rights and interests, but also a ballast stone for the sustained, stable and healthy development of the market economy, and an important means and tool for solving market failures.
