However,the frequent unfair competition among platform enterprises has hindered the healthy and rapid development of the platform economy.

These factors combine with each other to form four configuration paths of unfair competition among platform enterprises. Finally, from the perspective of reducing unfair competition in the industry, this paper puts forward specific ideas to standardize the development of platform economy, including respecting the law of platform development, reducing excessive market intervention, and trying to construct the proactive regulatory model with expected nature.
