Citi has published a report viewing the latest Compliance Guidelines for Charging Behaviors of Online Trading Platforms (Draft for Comments) issued by the State Administration for Market Regulation as part of a continuous process by watchdogs to ensure the healthy and sustainable development of the platform economy.

In Citi's opinion, the ultimate goal of the Chinese government is to improve the business environment for merchants and increase their income, and so platforms that provide services and facilitate transactions for small-scale merchants are expected to face greater pressure.
