China’s market regulator set out 34 priorities for 2026 to support private sector growth, focusing on fair competition, stronger legal protections and efficient regulation. The plan aims to remove barriers, promote a unified national market and curb “cut-throat” competition, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement on Sunday. The regulator has stepped up enforcement in recent years, targeting disorderly competition and tightening oversight of platform companies. It previously penalized major firms including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Meituan for anti‑competitive practices.

It also plans to expand support for individually owned businesses, improve governance capacity and enhance development service capabilities to promote high‑quality growth in the private sector.
