Trip.com – operator of its namesake international platform, China-focused siblings Ctrip and Qunar, and global site Skyscanner – had “abused its dominant market position”, the State Administration for Market Regulation<\/span> (SAMR) said on Saturday.<\/div>\n

The penalty includes the confiscation of 1.658 billion yuan in illegal gains and a fine of 3.521 billion yuan, the latter equivalent to 7.5 per cent of the company’s domestic sales of 46.958 billion yuan in 2025.<\/p>\n
