China‘s SAMR Summons Major Food Delivery Platforms Over Price War
中国国家市场监督管理总局约谈主要外卖平台应对价格战
China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) summoned Alibaba’s Ele.me, Meituan, and JD.com on Friday over a prolonged food delivery price war, urging rational competition. It aims to regulate promotions, foster a healthy ecosystem for all stakeholders, and demanded compliance with e-commerce, anti-unfair competition, and food safety laws. The move followed months of fierce rivalry with massive discounts for market share. Separately, SAMR addressed live-streaming food safety issues, noting excessive additives or pesticide residues in some products, with platform reps attending.
中国国家市场监督管理总局（SAMR）周五约谈了阿里巴巴旗下的饿了么、美团和京东，原因是持续的外卖价格战，要求它们进行理性竞争。该局旨在规范促销行为，为所有利益相关方营造健康的生态系统，并要求这些平台遵守电子商务、反不正当竞争和食品安全相关法律。此举源于数月来激烈的市场竞争，各平台为争夺市场份额推出了大量折扣。此外，国家市场监督管理总局还处理了直播电商中的食品安全问题，指出部分产品存在添加剂超标或农药残留问题，相关平台代表出席了会议。
