Finally, it is also determined by the nature of the policy, and even this policy has the nature of an "economic constitution", which often leads to two consequences. The first is a high-level concern, and this concern is often caused by the concentrated reflection of the public in a short period of time. Due to the limited resources of the law enforcement agency itself, it may not be able to perform high-intensity operations for decades. The second is abnormality. Monopoly is a morbid reflection of the imbalance of the market order. However, the identification of this morbidity still requires a series of value judgments. Illness can't last for a long time, even less so if it is subjective.


In addition to the normative text, a thorough understanding of the law also requires observing the implementation of the system. In the field of antitrust, the main types of enforcement include fines/special taxes, splits and public ownership. Although they are not small in power, they also have their own shortcomings. For fines/special taxes, due to its monopoly, the costs paid by companies, especially platform companies, can easily be passed on, and for the government, it is also a damaging blow to the credibility that only obtains revenue and does not really solve the problem.
