SHANGHAI, Aug 17 (Reuters) - China's State Administration for Market Regulation issued draft rules on Friday banning unfair competition in internet sector.

According to a document published on the regulator's website, business operators should not use data, algorithms or other technical means to hijack traffic or influence users' choices.

The regulator also said that business operators cannot use technological means to maliciously impose incompatible barriers to other legal internet products and services.

It added that in cases involving violations, third-party institutions may be hired to audit data.

    Idiot & poor legislation that do everything without deep studying into consequences. As much as they like to say it’s for consumer benefit but they still show their wrath & angerby removing the use of data. Good bye China with this you no longer stay competitive tothe world esspecially US. Simply due to a moment of anger lol. Idiot

    In the long term, such anti-monopoly practice is a win-win for both the internet service providers and customers. It will help the companies to build brand loyalty, trust and enhanced consumer confidence.
