2. Hours after the Chinese government imposed a record $2.8 billion fine on Alibaba, a veteran internet entrepreneur urged regulators to do something similar to his company's biggest competitor. Douyin, TikTok's Chinese sister service, is suing Tencent, China's biggest internct company, to allow users to share videos to Tencent's ubiquitous WeChat messaging service.
Lawsuits are flying and tempers are flaring on the Chinese internet, home to the world's largest single group of internet users. Beijing made it abundantly clear late last ycar that it was serious about curbing the power of a handful of companies that dominate online life in China. Now China's internet companies are kowtowing to Beijing and trying to make their rivals look bad instead of conecting their own anticompetitive behavior.
 If the Chinese government's antimonopoly eampaign works, the country's consumers stand to benefit. But the battle between companies could end up even further empowering the Chinese government, which already keeps a tight grip over online content. That could make the Communist Party, which controls the government and the court system alike, the ultimate arbiter over the industry. Competition wouldn't decide winners. Beijing would.
