China has imposed fines on technology companies Alibaba and Tencent, as well as a number of other companies, for failing to comply with antitrust rules on transaction disclosure.
The State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) has published a list of 28 deals that violated the rules. Five of these involved Alibaba units, including the 2021 purchase of a stake in its subsidiary, streaming platform Youku Tudou. Tencent was involved in 12 deals from the SAMR list.
China's technology sector has become a major target of anti-monopoly practices since the end of 2020. According to antitrust laws, the maximum potential fine in each case is 500,000 yuan ($74,688).
