Shen Danyang: We are glad to see that this matter has been properly handled with the joint efforts of all parties concerned. In the next step, the Ministry of Commerce hopes that relevant parties will not only do a good job in the aftermath of Taobao Mall, but also strengthen business guidance and services for third-party trading platforms.
Shen Danyang, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, said that it is necessary to speed up the construction of the legal management system for online retail and promote the early promulgation of the Regulations on the Management of Online Retail.
Shen Danyang: The root cause of this incident is: at present, the legal basis of network management in China is weak, the laws in the field of online retail are lacking, and the supervision system is imperfect. At present, it is necessary to promote the promulgation of the Regulations on the Management of Online Retail as soon as possible, form a market access and exit system for third-party trading platforms, improve market rules, clarify the rights, responsibilities and obligations of all participants in the online retail market, further clarify the management responsibilities of relevant departments, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of the online retail market.
"It is the general trend to attach importance to establishing an honest and healthy e-commerce platform, but how to formulate rules and guide them properly is still worth exploring. Especially for Taobao, a platform that is in a leading position or even a monopoly position in the industry, how to supervise and punish it is likely that its impact is not limited to the market economy level. " Fang Xingdong, founder of blog China, said.
Jiang Qiping, Secretary-General of Information Research Center of China Academy of Social Sciences, said that small enterprises and merchants are not necessarily lacking in competitiveness. If we can learn from the model of Italy or Germany and take the road of service differentiation, variety diversification and personalized customization, e-commerce enterprises of different sizes can get out of their own business models.
"Providing differentiated, diversified and personalized services to consumers requires the cooperation and complementarity of large enterprises, large businesses, small businesses and small businesses. How to build a platform to support differentiated development is still an opportunity and challenge for companies like Alibaba. " Jiang Qiping said.
Relevant researchers believe that Taobao's new regulations will trigger a "malicious attack", which will itself cause some small and micro customers to evacuate, thus losing some market activity. Andy, deputy director of the Department of E-commerce, School of Information, Central University of Finance and Economics, said that before changing the rules, it is especially necessary for multi-market participants to participate in the negotiations.
"The effect of Taobao's new regulations reveals that the legal system and management system in China's e-commerce field are still not perfect, and the rule-making still lacks the assistance of government management departments and industry associations, making enterprises the main body of rule-making." Fang Xingdong said. Experts said that as e-commerce in China enters the transition period, the coordination functions of relevant departments and institutions need to be gradually strengthened.
