China urges rational competition among food delivery firms

China’s top market regulator on Friday urged the country’s three major food delivery platforms to regulate their promotional activities and engage in rational competition.

The administration called on the three firms to adhere strictly to the country’s e-commerce, anti-unfair competition and food safety laws, and to jointly promote the healthy, sustained development of the catering service industry.
