China Proposes E-Commerce Law Amendments, Expanding Rules Beyond 2 Core Business Groups
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jul 4
Summary
Draft amendments released by China for public consultation would widen the E-Commerce Law beyond platforms and merchants, extending its reach across more digital businesses.
The proposal aims to update rules for the digital economy, signaling a broader regulatory framework than the law’s current focus on core e-commerce actors.
Platform oversight would also change: regulators would add supervisory measures alongside existing penalties such as fixed fines and business-suspension orders.
