Sherpa’s, an English-language food delivery service provider based in Shanghai, has been fined 1.17 million yuan for violating China’s anti-monopoly law, the city’s market watchdog said yesterday.
Sherpa’s actions secured a large number of eatery and catering business resources in the market, seriously hindering competition and infringing on the rights and interests of consumers and other businesses, the administration said.
According to an announcement by the Shanghai Municipal Administration for Market Regulation, Shanghai Sherpa's Delivery & Service Co, which provides bilingual online food delivery services in Shanghai, Beijing and Suzhou in East China's Jiangsu Province, was found to have violated the antitrust laws that ban the abuse of dominant market positions by restricting partners from trading with others without justification.
