Hey there! Do you use apps to order food? π±π In China, there are three big food delivery apps: Ele.me, Meituan, and JD.com. They are super popular and help millions of people get yummy meals delivered right to their doors! π΄ββοΈπ
Recently, these apps started a big competition. They began offering huge discounts and special deals to get more people to use their service. For example, Meituan launched a plan to give away “100 billion yuan” in discounts! That’s a lot of money! π°
But guess what? The government noticed this. China’s State Administration for Market Regulation, which makes sure businesses play fair, had a meeting with the three companies. They asked them to compete fairly and follow the rules. πβοΈ
The government reminded the apps that it’s important to protect customers and make sure everyone plays by the rules. They want these companies to help the food delivery industry grow in a healthy way. π½οΈβ€οΈ
Why is this important? Well, when companies compete too hard, sometimes it can cause problems. Smaller businesses might get hurt, and customers might get confused or even tricked. That’s why fair competition is super important! π€π
It’s great when we can get tasty food delivered easily, but it’s also important for companies to be responsible and fair. That way, everyone wins! ππ
