China antitrust watchdog proposes rules for 'super-large' platforms
- samizdis 5y agoSAMR [the State Administration for Market Regulation] seems particularly interested in keeping monopolies from forming in this new realm. "For super-large platforms, emphasis is placed on the principal responsibility of leading fair competition," argued the watchdog. "This is of great significance to build a reasonable competitive order and open platform ecology in the field of platform economy." It's also notable that SAMR is requiring "interoperability" of the internet platforms, since the growth of an app can depend on who is excluded. On the face of it, these would seem to be attractive propositions for those of us outside of China.
