Several places have issued documents before the holiday demanding that food delivery platforms stop "self-destructive" competition: they must not continue to subsidize in order to increase market share as the highest goal.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, many local market supervision departments across the country have issued guidelines for the Spring Festival takeaway market, warning relevant takeaway platforms to engage in rational competition. Among them, cities such as Xinyang and Nanyang in Henan, Bengbu in Anhui, Shantou in Guangdong, Wenchang in Hainan, and Liaoyang in Liaoning require takeaway platforms to immediately cease low-quality and low-price "internal competition" and refrain from organizing vicious subsidies and price dumping to ensure stability in the Spring Festival takeaway market.
