They say the law’s wide scope of application could put foreign businesses in China in a big dilemma, as they could be caught between complying with foreign sanctions and the law. ban them from taking such measures. Chinese technology company Huawei. Photo of CPO MAGAZINE According to Article 12 of the law passed by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on June 10, organizations and individuals that enforce or support foreign sanctions can be brought to court and forced to must “stop the violation and pay compensation”. Lester Ross, a partner at Beijing-based law firm WilmerHale, said he was concerned the new law would force regulators to “reduce companies’ discretion in determining whether they want to do business with them.” With whom”. “If so, this could have a big impact, especially for financial institutions,” he said. Businesses that may be at risk include multinational fashion brands that have announced they will not use cotton from Xinjiang after being banned by the US over human rights concerns, or suppliers to telecommunications giant Huawei, which has been hit by US export restrictions. Observers say the new law establishes a clear legal foundation for regulations issued by the Commerce Department last year. These include so-called untrusted legal entities lists, which identify foreign agencies deemed to pose a threat to China’s national security or interests and subject them to measures such as fines, economic restrictions and visa restrictions for employees. In January, the ministry also introduced a “blocking regulation” that forces Chinese organizations and individuals to report whether they have encountered any restrictions from foreign governments with the risk of fines if not, and allow them to claim. Tian Feilong, PSG at Beihang University’s law school, who has participated in consultations on the new law, said the blocking regulation has affected compliance with certain US sanctions. “In China, for example, Huawei can sue Taiwanese semiconductor giant TSMC for economic damages and seek compensation for the consequences,” Tian said. “Our court may rule that TSMC loses and Huawei will have a domestic legal channel to protect its interests. In this case, TSMC will have to decide whether to honor the sanctions. US sanctions or respect anti-sanctions laws in China,” he added. Tian said a leadership group would be set up to coordinate and enforce anti-sanctions measures, including representatives from the ministries of commerce and foreign affairs and the National Development and Reform Commission. “Simply put, foreign companies participating in sanctions against China will lose the Chinese market. Many companies need to weigh their pros and cons, whether to choose sides in the market. the Chinese market or the US and European markets, and between Chinese law and foreign law,” he said.

Controversial project passed Bundestag decides Supply Chain Act

Status: 11.06.2021 11:58 a.m.

In the future, large German companies will have to pay more attention to compliance with human rights and environmental standards by their suppliers – otherwise they face fines. The opposition criticized the Bundestag resolution. The Bundestag has passed the Supply Chain Act, which makes large companies more responsible than before for conditions at their global suppliers. 412 MPs voted for the law, 159 voted against it and 59 abstained. During the final deliberations in parliament, the Greens announced that they would vote with the government factions of the CDU / CSU and SPD. The FDP and AfD spoke out against it, the left wanted to abstain. The controversial project had been wrestled for a long time.

There is a risk of fines of two percent of sales

From 2023, large companies in Germany will be obliged to take action against human rights violations and environmental violations at their suppliers. Failure to do so can result in fines of up to two percent of annual sales. It initially applies to corporations with more than 3000 employees. According to the coalition, there are more than 925 companies. From 2024, companies with more than 1000 employees are also to be included, which would be around 4800 companies.

“Children belong in schools and not in mines”

Federal Labor Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD) said that politics must take action against child labor. “Children belong in schools and not in mines,” he said. Around 160 million children are currently working around the world, half of them in particularly dangerous conditions. That is why we need clear standards.

For Development Aid Minister Müller it is “the most important law for more justice between rich and poor”. Image: dpa Development Aid Minister Gerd Müller (CSU) said the law was “certainly the most important law for more justice between rich and poor”. He emphasized that it came about against strong lobby pressure. In the interests of business, the Union had enforced that there is no additional civil liability for companies. Corporations would have legal and planning security, so representatives of the Union parliamentary group.

AfD: Law harms German economy

The FDP and AfD, however, accused the regulation of harming the German economy. The AfD criticized that competitors of German companies were the winners of the law. Greens and leftists welcomed the law as a first step, but criticized it as inadequate. The left argued that because there was no civil liability, the law was too weak and made too few companies accountable.

Domestic workers have been severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. (Photo: ILO) In Vietnam, domestic workers are now subject to labor laws, but the challenge that Vietnam currently faces is compliance with the law. These are the comments of the International Labor Organization (ILO) in its latest report published on June 15. On the occasion of International Labor Day Domestic Workers (June 16), the ILO released the Report Making Decent Work a Reality for Domestic Workers: Progress and Prospects in Asia and the Pacific Duong. The report shows that, ten years after the adoption of the Domestic Workers Convention of 2011 (Convention No. 189), the majority of domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region ( 61.5%) are still completely out of the scope of national labor laws while 84.3% of them still work in informal jobs. The absence of national labor laws and the high level of informality continue to severely affect the working conditions of domestic workers in the Asia-Thailand region. Binh Duong. More than 50% of domestic workers are concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region Chihoko Asada Miyakawa, Director of the ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, said that there is an urgent need to formalize domestic work in Asia and the Pacific, starting with employment. domestic help is regulated by labor law and social security to ensure this important worker enjoys the protection and respect they deserve. The Philippines is the only country in the Asia-Pacific region that has ratified the Domestic Labor Convention ten years after its ratification. According to statistics, the Asia-Pacific region has 38.3 million domestic workers aged 15 and over (of which 78.4% are female), equivalent to 50.6% of domestic workers. families around the world, and this is the largest employer of domestic workers worldwide. In which, China accounts for the majority of these workers (22 million). This is also the region that employs the most male domestic workers, accounting for 46.1% of the male labor rate. families around the world. The data shows that the majority of domestic workers in the region are not subject to any limits on working hours (71%) or enjoy weekly leave (64%) under the provisions of the Labor Code. current labor law. The report also shows that domestic workers are often the lowest paid in the labor market, especially when they work in the informal sector. It is estimated that the Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region due to the high level of informality and the lack of protections provided for in the law. leading to job loss. Their risk of losing their job is 2-3 times higher than that of other workers. Domestic workers in Vietnam need to be protected in practice Vietnam is one of the few countries in the region bringing domestic workers under the scope of labor law. The Labor Code 2019 and the accompanying Decree No. 145/2000/ND-CP stipulate that family workers must have a written contract that meets certain standards, including limits on working hours. and rest time. Among Southeast Asian countries, only in Vietnam are domestic workers entitled to a minimum wage at least equal to the minimum wage for other workers. According to ILO Vietnam Director, Dr. Chang-Hee Lee, although Vietnam has made significant progress, which includes bringing domestic workers under the protection of the labor law, But the challenge facing today is how to strengthen compliance with the law and close the gap between the protections provided in the law and the actual experience of domestic workers. According to a new ILO report, 19% of domestic workers in Vietnam work through service providers, and the number of domestic workers migrating abroad has continuously increased over the past decade. by. Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, domestic workers have become much more vulnerable to job loss than other types of workers. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, the rate of domestic workers decreased by 17% in the second quarter of 2020, while the unemployment rate of other hired workers in the same period was only 6.1%. . In parallel with some domestic workers losing their jobs, others have reduced working hours. Both of these situations lead to a significant reduction in total wages received. In the second quarter of 2020, the working hours of domestic workers in Vietnam decreased by 24.7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Due to job loss and reduced working hours, the wages that laborers earn Domestic helpers in Vietnam received decreased by 26.2%. By 2026, Vietnam is expected to ratify the ILO Domestic Workers Convention (Convention No. 189). In the Asia-Pacific region, there are still 61.5% of domestic workers who are not subject to labor laws. – 84.3% of domestic workers in the informal sector work in informal work, while this figure for other workers is 52.8%. – 64% of domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region are not entitled to weekly leave…

(Source: ashtonhawks.com) LG Electronics Inc. The company said on June 3 that its FOSSLight system, an open source software management tool, is ready to “serve” external developers as the Korean technology giant strengthens its presence in the community software . LG said system FOSSLight, which has been used by the company since 2014, can now be downloaded for free on its website. This open source software allows programmers to freely use or edit according to their work needs. However, developers must comply with the license regulations for each open source code. LG’s FOSSLight is an open source compliance audit system, with the ability to analyze a developer’s software for compliance with licensing conditions and meeting security requirements. LG hopes this new move can strengthen FOSSLight’s global presence and improve the system’s stability by receiving mixed feedback from outside developers. This is also part of LG’s commitment to expanding cooperation and partnerships with others to accelerate digital transformation. LG has worked to establish a license management system Source code firmly open to professionals since 2007. LG is also the first Korean company to be recognized by the Linux Foundation’s OpenChain project. OpenChain is a project that helps define key recommended processes to make compliance with open source licenses simpler and more consistent.

On weekends, the capital’s hot weather makes many people choose commercial centers as a place to “relax”. People comply with epidemic prevention regulations, have their temperature checked at the entrance, wear masks during sightseeing and shopping. The shopping center is especially crowded on the supermarket and dining floors. Prepared food stalls are especially attractive, some people forget to keep their distance when choosing goods. No longer buying and hoarding like previous outbreaks, most people buy according to family needs, often preparing food for 3 days – 1 week. The checkout counters are open at full capacity to serve customers, at peak times, it takes about 15-20 minutes for customers to wait for their turn, because some counters have orders to go to the market to buy large quantities. Although the supermarket has instructions to line up and stick to the floor, most customers don’t notice, standing close to each other Although the Hanoi People’s Committee requires indoor food and drink shops to ensure a minimum distance of 2m from seats, the cafe in the commercial center lobby still arranges tables close together, almost full. The store makes full use of the space and aisles to place tables and chairs In contrast to the crowded food court, crowded cafes, and empty fashion stores, weekend shopping Even some layers of fashion and accessories are almost empty The children’s play area suffers from the same sad and empty situation, although it is still open for operation Outside the commercial center, some indoor restaurants are closed or only sell take-out, although not within the scope of the requirements of the City People’s Committee. Hanoi. The shop has equipped a shield, but does not serve customers to eat on the spot to ensure epidemic prevention phòng Shops are closed, leaving many streets deserted on weekends Beer shops, pubs comply with epidemic prevention regulations, arrange tables and chairs, closed from the beginning of the week

The Department of Tourism requires all tourist accommodation establishments to self-assess Covid-19 safety on the system of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. According to statistics of the General Department of Tourism, as of May 24, the city has 294 tourist service businesses registered and assessed for Covid-19 safety, the Department of Tourism said. In which, the number of registered tourist accommodation establishments is 244 with a total number of declarations of 2,236 times in 19/30 districts, towns. This is not a high number compared to the number of accommodation establishments in Hanoi. In order to proactively respond to the risk of the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic, to ensure more effectiveness in epidemic prevention and control, the Department of Tourism proposed the local People’s Committees to continue to coordinate in strengthening inspection and supervision. promptly handle strictly tourist accommodation establishments that fail to comply with the epidemic prevention and control measures of competent agencies; Only allow tourist accommodation establishments to ensure Covid-19 safety to welcome and serve guests. In addition, localities need to guide and require accommodation facilities to fully make medical declarations by QR code (tokhaiyte.vn), declare stay for guests according to regulations; declaration of inspection and supervision tables for 19 concentrated medical isolation facilities. Accommodation facilities need to guide visitors to download and use the “Safe Vietnam tourism” app to prevent and control the Covid-19 epidemic. All tourist accommodation establishments must self-assess and update to the national Covid-19 safety system according to the guidance of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism by: Visit http://safe .tourism.com.vn to register an account according to the instructions; log into the system and self-assess Covid-19 safety according to the “Covid-19 safety assessment sheet at tourist accommodation establishments” available on the system; print the QR code and publish and paste the code at the reception hall or easy-to-observe area so that visitors can check and evaluate the facility’s epidemic prevention and control; guide customers to download and use the “Safe Vietnam Tourism” application. For accommodation establishments that are temporarily closed, do not do business or change industries, the Department of Tourism is required to still register and tick the “Closed business premises” on the system. Step 1: Visit https://www.bluezone.gov.vn or download directly at App Store or CH Play. Step 2: Once downloaded, the application will ask for permission to use Bluetooth to record contact with other users who have installed Bluezone. If Bluetooth is not already on, drag the status bar and turn on Bluetooth; or go to Settings, select Bluetooth and turn it on. Step 3: Once the installation is done, click Scan Around. If someone near you less than 2m has used Bluezone, the application will automatically identify these users and put them in the contact list.

Old town is the first place to visit for tourists from all over the world when coming to Hanoi. They are curious about the old beauty of Hanoi, a thousand years of civilization. However, hidden behind the noisy and bustling features of the shops growing up close by, are the dark, microscopic alleys. Those are small, deep alleys, just one person. Entering each small alley is like stepping into a tunnel, groping forever without seeing the sun. Especially, in Hang Buom street, deep and narrow alleyways appear alternately. The way a large frontage house to an alley. The narrowest section width is nearly 50-60 cm. Ngo Brick Street, Hoan Kiem District – this place is known to many people for its tiny alleys when their width is less than 50 cm. Through this dark “tunnel” are the houses lurking behind. These small alleys form hundreds of hundreds of years. Hanoians are also accustomed to this cramped lifestyle. Households enjoy the same living space and collective kitchen. Every house door is close together. Few people can imagine that in that seemingly small alley, there are people who accept to live with darkness and humidity. This is house No. 34, Phat Loc alley, according to people living here, the house of Hoan Kiem factory is considered to be the oldest and the worst in Hang Buom ward. Mrs. Nguyen Thi Tuan lives in a 12m2 house at 32, Phat Loc (Hang Buom Ward, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi) for nearly 40 years. “I have lived here since the day I came back as a bride. This house my mother-in-law rented from the State, only 12m2, but for 4 generations … “ “Now the house has deteriorated a lot, the walls are loose, damp, when there are heavy rains, the house leaks, the windows are beaten by the wind”, Ms. Tuan said. Her husband spent more than 10 years, Mrs. Tuan alone took care of the whole family. She said: “There is no new rent, but living conditions like this are too much, I just hope to have a policy of relaxing people so that the whole family can move to a new place”. Because the house is so small, she makes use of the area next to no one to rent. In the same situation, living in house 34, Phat Loc, is still a lot of tenants. Ms. Zhao Tieu Hoa (77 years old) shared: “I have been staying in this house for 70 years. Now the children also live in this house “. Despite her old age, Ms. Hoa is daily groping for her way in the dark “cellar” going up and down to cook rice in the first floor collective kitchen. Over half of her life, with Mrs. Hoa, life is like that. “Enough, do not want to change anymore”. This is the house of Mrs. Nguyen Thi Ty (85 years old) at 96 Hang Buom. The house is only 9m2, and below is the kitchen, the toilet, above is the attic for her to sleep. “I have lived here since 1957, the day before, a family of seven lived here. Later, my children got married to live separately, I lived here alone. Sometimes my children and grandchildren would come home to visit their mother, ”said Mrs. Ty. According to observation, in these lane areas there are many degraded houses, in addition to the interlocking electrical system, the tubular house has no escape route, the fire alarm system is not equipped with potentially many fire risks. explosive. According to statistics in the Hoan Kiem district, there are more than 1,000 alleys and alleys so small that only one person can pass. There are even alleys that people passing by have to stoop, wriggle, look very miserable, but it is normal of the people of the old town. Living so cramped, dark, but many people still accept and satisfied because it seems to have become a habit, a cultural feature of Hanoi Old Quarter.

Research on rain forecast with a forecast term of 10 – 90 days is a topic that Dr. Bui Minh Tuan (born in 1988) cherished during his master’s years at the University of Natural Sciences. “Rain is an extremely important factor for the development of most countries in the world, including Vietnam. If the rainfall is too heavy, it can lead to flooding, causing serious damage to people and material; But too little rainfall can cause droughts, lack of water for domestic use and destroy crops. Therefore, rain forecasting is always the top concern of meteorologists in the world, ”said Tuan. Although the meteorological industry in recent years has seen a strong development; weather forecasts for 5 days have the same accuracy as the one-day forecast of 30 years ago; … however, according to Mr. Tuan, this does not mean that in the next 30 years, the forecast will be 5 times more accurate than current. “There are big obstacles that the meteorological industry has not been able to overcome. Technically, the computer can help to make forecast bulletins that come monthly or longer, however, the reliability of the forecast report will drop very quickly after 5-7 days ”, said Tuan. . Currently, the theoretical foundations for short-term forecasting (from 1-5 days) have been gradually being finalized. Therefore, the weather forecast for this time period is relatively good. However, atmospheric changes on a longer time scale (from 10 to 90 days) are not fully understood. This is also one of the main reasons why the forecast is not reliable at this time. Those concerns have prompted Mr. Tuan to find laws related to the change of rain from 10 to 90 days, towards expanding the ability to forecast. Continuously from 2013 – 2019, Mr. Tuan went to “decode” the questions: Rain in Vietnam has cyclical fluctuations, especially the 10 – 90 day cycle or not? Are these variations between climatic regions? If rain in Vietnam has a strong fluctuation in a cycle of 10 – 90 days, which large-scale processes lead to the fluctuation of these cycles?, … To answer those questions, Tuan said it took him a year to read and understand the algorithms and build computational programs for large atmospheric data sets over the course of 30 years, in the period since 1980. – 2010. “These are complex algorithms, requiring high programming skills. But due to the lack of support from IT specialists, I encountered many difficulties in handling this problem ”. After the computational results have been obtained, analyzing the physical process based on those results is also a challenge. The reason is that Vietnam’s climate is very complicated, affected by many large circulation systems and has strong differentiation between regions. The characteristics of rain and the mechanism of precipitation in Vietnam still cause a lot of controversy in the meteorological community. Therefore, the selection of important aspects for analysis also requires a lot of time. Mr. Tuan also took another year to analyze all the results. What he collected during this time helped find the oscillation pattern of rain. The physical mechanisms involved in this volatility have also been shown. In particular, he also found a relationship of this oscillation with the occurrence of heavy rains in Vietnam. This brings a lot of value, because heavy rains are considered anomalous and difficult to predict. Tuan’s research is an important theoretical basis to expand the ability to predict rain and heavy rain from 10-25 days. Thanks to these results, by early 2019, his article was published in the Journal of Climate – a climate magazine of the American Meteorological Association. Mr. Tuan is a former student of Physics at the High School of Science and Technology. Because he is always curious about natural phenomena such as storms, tornadoes, thunderstorms, … he decided to enroll in the Department of Meteorology, Hydrology and Oceanography of the University of Natural Sciences, Vietnam National University. Cabinet. “When I entered school, I found Meteorology more interesting than what I thought. The ideal knowledge of mathematics and physics is quite distant, but it is applied very closely to explain natural phenomena. In addition, I also have access to modern technologies or to process data on mainframe systems. I also had the opportunity to do internships at local observatories and to participate in professional forecasting internships at the National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting. There, I played the role of forecasters, directly analyzing to create a forecast newsletter. It was a very wonderful experience for me ”. After graduating from university, he continued to study for masters and doctoral degrees at the University of Science. As a scientist trained in the country, Mr. Tuan assessed that in recent years, the meteorological industry in Vietnam has also had a great development. At the working place Tuan has been equipped with a supercomputer system for training and research. The latest achievements in areas such as remote sensing, data assimilation, high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, … have also been applied in weather forecasting. However, Mr. Tuan also frankly acknowledged, the support of information technology experts to maintain and operate this system well is still limited. Current researchers still have to be in charge of this additional area. Another “separate sadness”, according to Tuan, is loneliness in science. “The computer system started to exist, but for improvement, the human factor remains the prerequisite. In Vietnam today, the number of people who choose to follow the research path in this field is very small ”. The meteorology industry still seems to be “out of the general trajectory of development”, when after nearly 10 years, despite some changes, it is still slow and only motivated by a few individual individuals. There are not many people doing research in the same field, so it is very difficult to find an academic exchange. Part of the reason, according to Tuan, is that the support for young researchers is still relatively low compared to the general level of society. This is likely to lead to a crisis of high-quality human resources in the future. Currently, each training course in the Department of Meteorology of the University of Natural Sciences recruits only about 30-40 targets. While majors require people who are good at both Math, Physics or Programming, … these people often choose very few meteorology. “Right from the source of admission, this discipline has encountered difficulties. When we enroll in schools, students still know very little about the industry and only think this industry is mainly metrology, usually for the population of C because it relates to Geography. The main registration is for aspiration 2, aspiration 3, so they don’t really like and want to stick with the industry ”, said Tuan. According to the young doctor, this industry is still not respected because people still think, “rain and wind is the story of heaven”, seemingly very far away. But in fact, it greatly affects life, economy and society such as planning production activities, forecasting diseases and preventing natural disasters. “I hope in the coming time, the society will know about the Hydrometeorology industry, not only through the image of a young man in” Quiet Sa Pa “anymore. This is an interesting discipline and offers many opportunities for young people to be truly passionate about natural sciences ”.

Figure: Figure Worm Recently, the Huai’an Intermediate People’s Court of Jiangsu Province issued a judgment on Meituan’s unfair competition. This case is the first application of Article 12 of the “People’s Republic of China Anti-Unfair Competition Law” that came into effect on January 1, 2018. Infringement cases of unfair competition in the takeaway field. The civil judgment shows that Beijing Sankuai Technology Co., Ltd. (Meituan) will pay 352,000 yuan to Shanghai Lazas Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Hungry?). This is also the first time that the new anti-French Internet article has been applied to the food delivery area. Repeatedly fined This is the second time Meituan has lost a lawsuit in the food delivery field because it forced its merchants to choose one of the two. Before this year, Meituan was also punished many times. In February of this year, the Intermediate People’s Court of Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province ruled against Zhejiang Jinhua Meituan’s practice of requiring some merchants to enter into exclusive transactions with them. The judgment showed that the unfair competition conducted by Beijing Sankuai Technology Co., Ltd. Jinhua Branch harmed the legitimate rights and interests of Lazas Company (Ele.), and should bear civil liability and compensate Shanghai Lazas Information Technology Co., Ltd. 100 Ten thousand yuan economic loss. In June 2017, the Market Supervision Bureau of Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province imposed penalties on Meituan’s illegal activities such as restricting competition, and fined a total of 526,000 yuan. Because Meituan took advantage of its dominant position in the local area, it forced the merchants to sign a “commitment letter of cooperation” and required the signing of an exclusive agreement, otherwise it would increase the rate or even close the store. In May 2018, the Market Supervision Bureau of Qingjiangpu District, Huai’an City, Jiangsu Province raised rates, set a break, set unreasonable conditions, etc. for some merchants operating on Meituan and Ele.me food delivery platforms at the same time for Meituan Takeaway. The act of forcing merchants to remove Ele.me food delivery platform stores was determined to constitute an act of unfair competition, and Meituan was fined 70,000 yuan in accordance with the law. In March 2019, due to alleged misleading and deceit, forcing users to modify, close, and uninstall network products or services legally provided by other operators, the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau of Tongjiang County, Bazhong City, Sichuan Province forced merchants to choose Meituan Takeaway as a “second choice” 1. The party concerned shall be punished with a fine of up to 250,000 yuan and “ordered to stop illegal activities”. Are you hungry, “choose one of two” fined Not only Meituan, Ele.me was also punished for being forced to “choose one of two”. On April 7, Wenzhou Intermediate People’s Court ruled that Ele.me asked merchants to close Meituan’s takeaways and forced the merchants to sign an exclusive cooperation agreement with Ele.me’s platform. After being rejected by the merchants, they logged in to the merchant’s account and closed it on the Ele.me platform. Shop. The court held that the subjective maliciousness of Ele.me’s unfair competition behavior was obvious, which harmed the commercial interests of merchants, severely restricted consumers’ right to choose, and severely hindered and undermined the legally provided services by Meituan Waimai and other food delivery platform operators. The normal operation of the network service ordered Ele.me to compensate Meituan for the economic losses of the takeout. Strictly control unfair competition With the intensification of unfair competition behaviors such as “choose one out of two”, the supervision of relevant state departments has gradually tightened and improved. On November 10, 2020, on the eve of the e-commerce “Double Eleven” promotion, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued the “Anti-Monopoly Guidelines on the Platform Economy (Draft for Comment)” for the first time clearly defined the “choice of two” as Abuse of market dominance, constitute a restricted transaction behavior. On February 7 this year, the Anti-Monopoly Commission of the State Council formally issued and implemented the “Guidelines for Anti-Monopoly in the Platform Economy Field” to prevent and stop monopolistic activities in the platform economy, clarifying that “choosing one of the two” may constitute an abuse of market dominance to restrict transactions. . Not long ago, the State Administration of Market Supervision imposed an administrative penalty on Alibaba’s “choice of two” monopolistic behavior, ordering Alibaba Group to stop its illegal activities and imposing a fine of 4% of its domestic sales of 455.712 billion yuan in 2019, totaling 182.28. 100 million yuan. It is worth mentioning that yesterday (April 13), the State Administration for Market Regulation, together with the Central Cyberspace Administration of China and the State Administration of Taxation, held an Internet platform enterprise administrative guidance meeting and pointed out that the forced implementation of the “two alternatives” issue is particularly prominent, and it is the capital of the platform economy. A prominent reflection of willful and disorderly expansion is a flagrant trampling and destruction of the market competition order. The forced implementation of “choose one” behavior restricts market competition, curbs innovation and development, and harms the interests of operators and consumers on the platform. It is extremely harmful and must be resolutely cured. In response, Meituan issued a letter of undertaking to operate in compliance with laws and regulations, stating that it respects the right of independent choice by operators on the platform, does not use unreasonable restrictions and other measures to force merchants to “choose one of two”, and does not use technical means to implement monopoly agreements and abuse the market. Dominant behavior eliminates and restricts market competition, and fulfills the obligation to declare concentration of business operators in accordance with the law. Do not carry out unfair competition, price violations, and publishing illegal advertisements, and support the supervision and law enforcement work of market supervision departments, and accept social supervision. Once clues of illegal activities are found, report them to the regulatory authorities in a timely manner and actively cooperate with the investigation and handling. Baidu, JD, ByteDance, Meituan “Yes” to strengthen compliance management After the State Administration of Market Supervision, the Central Cyberspace Administration of China, and the State Administration of Taxation held an administrative guidance meeting for Internet platform companies, on April 14, Internet platform giants and upstarts such as Baidu, JD.com, and Bytedance issued the “Operation Commitment in Compliance with Laws”. Among them, antitrust, personal information protection, and intellectual property protection have become the focus of compliance. This is just the beginning. From April 14th, for three consecutive days, the State Administration of Market Supervision will collectively announce the “Operation Commitments in Compliance with Laws and Regulations” of 34 Internet platform companies participating in the conference. Antitrust and personal information protection become the focus of compliance The companies that announced the “Operation Commitment in Compliance with Laws” include Baidu, JD.com, Meituan, Qihoo 360, Weidian, Sina Weibo, ByteDance, Dingdong Maicai, Pinduoduo, Xiaohongshu, Suning.com , Vipshop. There are both e-commerce platforms and content platforms. These platform companies promise to strictly abide by laws and regulations, implement platform legal responsibilities, further improve the platform compliance system, strengthen compliance training for corporate employees, and strengthen daily operation self-inspection. Sorting out the commitments of the above-mentioned companies, antitrust, personal information protection and intellectual property protection have become the focus of compliance for platform companies. “Choose one of the two” has become a high-frequency word. JD.com promises that it will not implement “choose one of the two”, not abuse its dominant market position, not implement monopoly agreements, not illegally implement operator concentration, not implement unfair competition, and not implement unfair price behavior; Meituan says it respects operations on the platform The owner has the right to choose independently, and does not force merchants to “choose one of the two” through unreasonable restrictions and other measures. Yesterday’s meeting of the three departments focused on the forced implementation of the “two alternatives” issue, saying that this issue is particularly prominent. The meeting stated that the forced implementation of “choice of two” is a prominent reflection of the willful and disorderly expansion of capital in the field of platform economy, and it is a blatant trampling and destruction of the order of market competition. The forced implementation of “choose one” behavior restricts market competition, curbs innovation and development, and harms the interests of operators and consumers on the platform. It is extremely harmful and must be resolutely eradicated. The protection of personal information is also a key content of the major platforms’ commitments. Yesterday’s meeting pointed out the problem of platform enterprise information leakage and said that “it must be rectified seriously.” Like ByteDance promises, no illegal collection and misuse of personal information. On the premise of ensuring that users are informed, collect and use user information in accordance with the law in accordance with the principle of “least necessary”. Xiaohongshu stated that it does not illegally collect or misuse personal information, and follows the principles of justification, safety, and legal use. Algorithmic discrimination is still worthy of vigilance In addition to the common “key points” mentioned above, the commitments of some companies are also worthy of attention. Like the 360 ​​promise, we insist on objectively and neutrally setting search and sorting algorithms. Suning also stated that it does not engage in substantively coordinated behaviors through data, algorithms, platform rules, or other means, which will undermine the fair competition environment in the market. The use of operations such as setting search and sorting algorithms for platform self-treatment has a certain degree of concealment. Experts have pointed out that the sorting strategy will be a very mainstream behavior of platform self-treatment. In the Internet era, platforms must not only build user stickiness, but also acquire user traffic. Information screening and presentation are the core means to increase user stickiness and gain user traffic. Liu Xiaochun, executive director of the Internet Rule of Law Research Center of the University of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that almost all services, not only search engines, have problems with ranking strategies. The ranking strategy is likely to determine the competitiveness of operators in the platform ecology. Deng Zhisong, a senior partner of Dacheng Law Firm, told the 21st Century Business Herald that technology and algorithms are the core competitiveness of the networking platform. Internet platform-related competitions are generally conducted through technology and algorithms, and there are many suspected monopolistic behaviors that the public is familiar with, including “choice of two”, “big data to kill familiarity”, “algorithm collusion” and so on. Yesterday the three-department meeting put forward the “five strict preventions”, including strict prevention of technology stifling, strict prevention of rule and algorithm abuse, and strict prevention of system closure. Among the companies announced this time, apart from the algorithmic discrimination issue clearly raised by 360 and Suning, other companies did not express their views on this. Emphasize platform self-regulation and establish a compliance system To a certain extent, the commitments of some companies have also responded to the focus of public attention. Pinduoduo, which was previously regarded as “barbaric growth”, promised to strictly regulate the behaviors of operators on the platform that do not obtain relevant administrative licenses to engage in business activities, consumption fraud, fraudulent transactions, false propaganda, etc. Strengthen the control of counterfeit and shoddy goods, implement food safety guarantee obligations, and protect the personal and property safety of the people. Sina Weibo promises to ensure that platform information is legal and compliant, and resolutely not allow the Weibo platform to become a platform for disseminating illegal marketing information and harmful information. The Internet era has brought many new social propositions. Since last year, the “digital divide for the elderly” has attracted widespread attention from the society. Baidu’s letter of undertaking stated that it will further promote the protection of the rights and interests of netizens, paying particular attention to the protection of the elderly and minors, and enhance the protection of netizens’ rights and interests. According to the requirements, all Internet platform companies will conduct a comprehensive self-inspection and self-examination within one month, and complete rectifications one by one. He Yuan believes that this reflects a change in law enforcement and supervision thinking, which is no longer just a national mandatory regulation, but also emphasizes platform self-regulation and establishment of a compliance system to form a comprehensive governance. “It is not to put all the responsibilities in the hands of the regulators, but to put pressure on companies to also comply with regulations and urge them to improve their corporate governance structure.” He analyzed that the current law enforcement logic sets a red line for the government, and the platform does a good job of self-discipline and builds a compliance system. The government takes regulatory measures afterwards. Once the regulatory red line is violated, it will initiate national compulsory regulation, such as high fines. , To form a deterrent to platform companies.
