BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s market regulator on Thursday announced a five-month campaign that will ensure platform companies optimise their protocols, to protect the rights of consumers and vendors.

The State Administration for Market Regulation said it will supervise and guide platform firms to conduct self-examination, and improve their protocols to overcome a lack of key provisions.
