Abstract

In recent years, the scale of China's Internet industry has continuously expanded, and cases revolving around Internet monopolies have also been increasing. Internet monopoly has become an issue that must be prioritized today. However, determining the boundaries of monopoly in the Internet industry cannot simply rely on copying the theories of traditional industries. It is necessary to discuss how to maximize the benefits of the Internet industry within benign competition. This paper observes relevant data from leading Internet enterprises in the industry, analyzes the characteristics of Internet monopolies through economic principles, and puts forward suggestions regarding China's attitude and coping policies toward Internet monopolies.
