China's JD.com calls out anti-competitive pressures on food delivery couriers

From: Reuters

Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com highlighted anti-competitive pressures on food delivery couriers on Monday, alleging that other platforms were coercing couriers to avoid working with JD Takeaway, a claim denied by its competitor Meituan.

JD Takeaway began onboarding restaurants in February with promises of "zero commissions all year round", marking its entrance into China's highly competitive food delivery space and threatening to disrupt the market share of leading players who rely on scale for success in this low-margin sector.

In the post on JD.com's official Weixin account, addressed to couriers working with JD Takeaway, the company said it was aware of pressures on them to not accept orders from JD.com and that it sympathised with their plight of being forced to choose between platforms.

JD.com did not name competing platforms in its post.

China's food delivery sector has long been dominated by giant Meituan, with Alibaba-owned Ele.me the second-largest player in the country based on market share.

Meituan and Ele.me did not immediately reply to an emailed request for comment on JD.com's post.

Meituan, in several consecutive posts on its Weixin accounts, rejected JD.com's claims without naming it directly.

Meituan said it has never restricted couriers from working with other delivery services, and instead suggested that JD.com alone has curbed its couriers from working with other platforms.

In another post titled "Instead of spreading rumours to attract online attention, it is better to fulfil your promises," Meituan quoted both a classic Chinese martial arts novel and a renowned Chinese Buddhist monk, signalling its desire to avoid engaging in slander.

"If slandered, do not argue. I often see people who are slandered, and when they argue and explain, they suffer more," read one of the quotes.

Meituan also said it had punished one of its drivers for falsely claiming he had been banned by Meituan for taking orders from other platforms in an earlier post, describing the driver's claim as "pure fabrication".

JD.com has promised to provide sufficient orders to couriers banned by other platforms to ensure they can maintain their income level.

It also said it would double its recruitment aim for full-time riders to 100,000 from 50,000 in the next three months.

JD.com is the first platform to offer its full-time riders direct labour contracts, making them eligible to collect full insurance benefits.

JD.com did not reply to a request for more details on its post.

From: Reuters

Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com highlighted anti-competitive pressures on food delivery couriers on Monday, alleging that other platforms were coercing couriers to avoid working with JD Takeaway, a claim denied by its competitor Meituan.

中国电商巨头京东（JD.com）周一称外卖骑手面临不正当竞争压力，其他平台强迫外卖骑手“二选一”，但该说法遭到竞对平台美团的否认。

courier /ˈkʊr.i.ər/ /ˈkəriər/表示“（递送重要书信或文件的）信使，递送员”，英文解释为“a person or company that takes messages, letters, or parcels from one person or place to another”举个🌰：I want to have this package delivered by motorcycle courier. 我想找摩托递送员送这个包裹。

📍词根“-leg-”与“法律”有关，前缀“al-”可能表示“向”，整体意思是“向法律提出”。近义词：claim（声称），同根词：allegation（指控），常用短语：allege misconduct（指控不当行为）

coerce /kəʊˈɜːs/ 表示“强制；胁迫；迫使”，英文解释为“to force someone to do something they do not want to do by threatening them”举个🌰：The court heard that the six defendants had been coerced into making a confession. 法庭在审理中发现6名被告曾受到逼供。

JD Takeaway began onboarding restaurants in February with promises of "zero commissions all year round", marking its entrance into China's highly competitive food delivery space and threatening to disrupt the market share of leading players who rely on scale for success in this low-margin sector.

京东外卖于二月份开始吸纳餐厅入驻，并承诺“全年零佣金”，标志着其正式进军中国竞争激烈的外卖市场，对依靠规模运营以维持微利的头部平台构成威胁。

6）out of commission 表示“（机器、军舰等）坏了的，不可使用的，退役的”，英文解释为“If something, such as a machine or a military ship, is out of commission it is broken or not available to be used.”

表示“低利润的”，英文解释为“producing a low level of profit”

In the post on JD.com's official Weixin account, addressed to couriers working with JD Takeaway, the company said it was aware of pressures on them to not accept orders from JD.com and that it sympathised with their plight of being forced to choose between platforms.

补充：

📍plight作动词，plight one‘s troth表示“答应结婚，订婚；结婚”（to promise to marry someone）。

🎬电影《笔下求生》（Stranger Than Fiction）中的台词提到：lts desperate attempts to escape... only underscore the hopelessness of its plight. 它绝望的挣扎 只能强调它无望的处境。

JD.com did not name competing platforms in its post.

京东在文章中并未直接点出竞对平台名。

China's food delivery sector has long been dominated by giant Meituan, with Alibaba-owned Ele.me the second-largest player in the country based on market share.

长期以来，中国外卖市场由美团占据主导地位，阿里巴巴旗下的饿了么则稳居第二。

Meituan and Ele.me did not immediately reply to an emailed request for comment on JD.com's post.

截至目前，美团和饿了么均未就京东发布的声明回复记者的邮件采访请求。

Meituan said it has never restricted couriers from working with other delivery services, and instead suggested that JD.com alone has curbed its couriers from working with other platforms.

美团表示，其从未限制骑手与其他外卖平台合作，并反指是京东限制其骑手与其他平台合作。

In another post titled "Instead of spreading rumours to attract online attention, it is better to fulfil your promises," Meituan quoted both a classic Chinese martial arts novel and a renowned Chinese Buddhist monk, signalling its desire to avoid engaging in slander.

美团在另一篇题为“与其造谣引流，不如兑现承诺”的文章中，引用了中国武侠小说与佛教名僧之言，表达不愿参与口水战的立场。

Meituan also said it had punished one of its drivers for falsely claiming he had been banned by Meituan for taking orders from other platforms in an earlier post, describing the driver's claim as "pure fabrication".

美团还披露，一名骑手早前发文称自己因接其他平台订单被美团封禁，属子虚乌有，公司已对其作出处罚，并称其言论“纯属捏造”。

JD.com has promised to provide sufficient orders to couriers banned by other platforms to ensure they can maintain their income level.

京东承诺将为被其他平台封禁的骑手安排充足订单，保障其收入不受影响。

It also said it would double its recruitment aim for full-time riders to 100,000 from 50,000 in the next three months.

3）表示“（使）收缩；（使）缩小；（使）缩短”，英文解释为“to make or become shorter or narrower or generally smaller in size”举个🌰：In spoken English, "do not" often contracts to "don't". 在英语口语中，do not 常常缩略成 don't。
