The article claims that the first anti-monopoly case in 2026 fell on Ctrip. Ctrip touched on two policy red lines this time. The first is the conflict between the high profits of platform enterprises and the "priority of the real economy" orientation. The second red line is more critical. Platforms use their traffic and technological advantages to set rules and squeeze merchants' profits, which may seem like market behavior, but in reality, forces the entire industry into a vicious cycle where no one can do well. It is a consensus across all sectors to rectify "internal competition". This investigation, called "anti-monopoly", is also "anti-internal competition". Its significance is far more than just a stern warning to a single enterprise, it is a key opportunity to drive the overall transformation of the platform economy. The anti-monopoly investigation is not meant to stifle innovation, but to unclog the channels blocked by monopolistic behavior, allowing thousands of boats, including platform enterprises and real enterprises, to compete fairly in the same fair waters.
