Abstract

Abstract:

The “gatekeeper” system in the Digital Markets Act breaks through the restrictions of the previous EU antitrust rules, adopts the mode of ex-ante supervision, combines qualitative and quantitative standards, and sets a new path of antitrust analysis. Today’s “gatekeeper” system still has problems such as defects in quantitative standards, weak correlations between standards, and unsystematic obligation regulation. China should learn the “gatekeeper” system in the Digital Markets Act, strengthen the ex-ante supervision of platforms, combine qualitative and quantitative indexes, and update antitrust analysis rules.

Key words: Digital Markets Act, digital economy, “gatekeeper”, antitrust
