Courts rule Meituan, Eleme, to compensate each other for unfair competition

A court in eastern Shandong province ruled that Chinese food delivery giant Meituan should pay rival Eleme RMB 1 million ($160,000) for forcing merchants to list exclusively on its platform, local media reported Monday. Separately, a court in eastern Anhui province recently ordered Eleme to pay Meituan RMB 80,000 for similar offenses in an unrelated case. [NetEase News, in Chinese]
