China has imposed penalties of nearly $765 million on Trip.com Group, which operates the country's largest online travel platform, for abusing its dominant market position. China's regulator stated that Trip.com restricted market competition by entering into exclusive partnerships with some hotels and offering prioritized traffic allocation to them. The group also prohibited some hotels from collaborating with competing platforms. The regulator confiscated illegal gains and imposed the fines totaling almost $765 million. Trip.com said it accepts the decision and will comply with the penalties. The group also said it plans to implement rectification measures to align with regulatory requirements.

Earlier this week Brazil’s Finance Minister Dario Durigan said the government would announce new measures to increase regulation.
