JD.com and Meituan Clash Over Alleged Delivery Rider Restrictions
京东与美团因骑手限制问题爆发冲突
Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com accused Meituan of blocking part-time delivery riders from working across platforms, a tactic that had previously earned Meituan a hefty antitrust fine in 2021. JD, which launched its food delivery service in February, claimed some riders’ income dropped by up to 25% due to these practices. Although Meituan denied the accusations and countered that JD enforces similar restrictions on its riders, JD has yet to respond. This “pick one from two” strategy remains a hot issue in China’s gig economy, highlighting ongoing competition between the two tech giants.
中国电商巨头京东指责美团阻止兼职骑手在多个平台接单，此前美团曾因类似行为在2021年被重罚。京东自2月推出外卖服务以来，称部分骑手因限制导致收入下降高达25%。虽然美团否认指控，并反咬京东对自家骑手实施类似限制，但京东尚未回应。强迫骑手或商家“二选一”的做法，在中国零工经济中一直备受关注，反映出两大科技巨头激烈的市场竞争。
