China regulators summon 7 travel platforms over ticket sales practices

Chinese regulators have summoned seven third-party travel platforms, including Ctrip, Meituan, and Qunar, to address issues in their train ticket sales operations. The platforms are accused of misleading practices such as deceptive "ticket-grabbing" services, encouraging users to buy longer tickets for shorter trips, and improper collection of personal user data. This action by the State Administration for Market Regulation, Cyberspace Administration of China, and National Railway Administration aims to curb non-compliant business practices. AI
