Beijing has stepped up corporate regulatory enforcement this year, though analysts say it的 unlikely to pursue a repeat of the 2021 crackdown that wiped out more than $1 trillion from Chinese tech stocks.
自 1 月份以来, 官员已对国内最大的在线旅行社 Trip.com 展开正式反垄断调查，并传唤了十几家科技巨头 — ，其中包括阿里巴巴, 腾讯, 字节跳动的 抖音, 百度, 京东和美团 — 原因是 6 月份购物节前的激烈价格竞争和促销主张。 They also sent a stern warning earlier this month to Walmart China over repeated food-safety failures at its wholesale retailer Sam的 Club.

Beijing is attempting to act but without "triggering another broad investor panic," he said.
Han Shen Lin, China country director at The Asia Group, put it more bluntly, saying that "Beijing needs private-sector confidence, jobs and technology investment far more than it did in 2021."
