In 2021, the “youngest academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences”, 45-year-old Pu Shilong was not spared. A co-signed article by him and a number of scholars was also displayed as a fee on the main website of Zhiwang. But the article is actually available for free.
HowNet not only makes profits by using the papers of well-known experts and scholars, but also collects and sells the dissertations of college students. A doctoral student at Beijing Foreign Studies University revealed in an interview with reporters on WeChat that his paper was included in CNKI in March, but he did not receive any benefits.
The world is bustling, all come for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit.
Every reporter’s investigation found that CNKI’s gross profit margin was as high as 53.35%, “crushing” nearly 90% of A-share listed companies.
On the one hand, CNKI’s high gross profit, on the other hand, is the overburdened renewal fees of academic institutions and universities. In the face of “tens of millions of renewal fees”, even the Chinese Academy of Sciences is trying to escape the “knowledge network” built by CNKI.
Academician Zhong Nanshan has published a number of open source papers
You need to pay to get it on the main website of CNKI
Every in-depth investigation by reporters found that on the CNKI platform, there are two cases of charging and non-charging for the same article: articles that are completely free in its foreign libraries are paid to download on the main site, and even many articles signed by Academician Zhong Nanshan The article has also been “routine” by the main website of Zhiwang.
There are two ways to query the foreign language periodicals included in CNKI:
1
Search query through the main site of the official website
https://www.cnki.net/
The main site mainly includes articles published in domestic journals, and a considerable number of articles need to be charged.
2
Search queries through academic search sites (foreign language general database)
https://scholar.cnki.net/
This site mainly collects articles published by foreign publishers, and provides jump links (DOI, Digital Object Unique Identifier) to foreign journal databases. The charges are subject to the foreign publishers.
An English journal article “Preliminary evidence from a multicenter prospective observational study of the safety and efficacy of chloroquine for the treatment of COVID-19” jointly signed by Academician Zhong Nanshan Prospective Observational Research Preliminary Evidence”) as an example, the article costs 4.5 yuan to obtain in the “Journal” library of the main website of CNKI, but in the foreign language journal library of CNKI, you can directly jump to the foreign database Open Access (Open Access). , hereinafter referred to as OA, that is, readers can read it for free).
CNKI main site displays charges
The DOI link provided by the foreign library of CNKI can be directly jumped to open access
However, when searching for the above articles on CNKI’s main site, the “General Library” column shows that there is only one paid article, and it does not indicate that a foreign library has also included a free article with exactly the same content.
The main site only displays paid articles, and the number of downloads on CNKI is 39.
Another article “Strategies for reopening in the forthcoming COVID-19 era in China” co-signed by Academician Zhong Nanshan also has the above situation. It costs 1 yuan on the main website of CNKI, and can directly jump to the foreign journal library for free in the foreign library. read.
Every reporter also found that the above two articles written by Academician Zhong Nanshan were published in the National Science Review (NSR), which was commissioned by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and China Science and Technology Publishing and Media Co., Ltd. Oxford University Press Published globally. Oxford University Press and China Science magazine announced in 2019 that NSR is published as a fully open access journal.
In the case of full open access overseas, the NSR (“National Science Review”) is marked as “CNKI exclusive” in the main site “Journal Library” of CNKI (as shown in the figure below).
The CNKI page shows that the total number of NSR downloads is 41,384, and the total number of citations is 6,632.
In addition, every reporter also noticed that whether it is a paid or free version, the copyrights marked are exactly the same, that is: the copyright belongs to the “Science China” magazine, which is owned by the world-renowned academic publishing giant Elsevier and “Science China”. ” magazine published, “HowNet” does not appear in the copyright.
In response to the above situation, Yu Wenzhu, a partner of Broad & Bright, who has been focusing on intellectual property for 12 years, said in an interview with every reporter, “The reason for this may be that there is a relationship between the copyright owner of the journal and CNKI. The license contract only stipulates that CNKI is the exclusive licensee in China. This does not affect the copyright owner’s license to third parties for the use of the journal outside China, such as licensing the Oxford University Library to publish the journal online.” But she also emphasized , “Even so, CNKI should be marked as ‘exclusive in China’, otherwise it will mislead consumers.”
It is worth mentioning that Mr. Yu is also a member of the Copyright Committee of the International Trademark Association (INTA) and the Intellectual Property Committee of the China National Committee of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).
In addition, every time the reporter contacted the website director, sales and marketing department and information science sub-journal through the official website of “Science China” magazine, the staff said on the phone that the journal articles were published in “Science China” magazine. The official website of the agency can be downloaded for free, but it is not clear about the fees of HowNet and the content of cooperation with HowNet.
In addition to the papers of Academician Zhong Nanshan, there are many well-known scholars in the industry among the authors of the documents overlapped by CNKI. In 2021, the “youngest academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences”, 45-year-old Pu Shilong, has jointly signed the English article “No benefits from warming even for subnival vegetation in the central Himalayas” with several scholars. Title, the result defaults to displaying the paid articles of the Chinese version of the title.
In the “Journal” library of the main website of CNKI, the original English title of the article was omitted, and it was presented with the Chinese title of “Alpine glacial plants in the Himalayas do not benefit from warming (English)”, requiring a payment of 2.5 yuan Buy articles. In CNKI’s foreign language general database, you can directly jump to foreign databases for free access.
After purchasing this article on CNKI, every time a reporter compares it with the free version downloaded from foreign databases, it is found that there is no difference in the content.
Every time a reporter searches, it is found that many English articles signed by Academician Pu Shilong and Academician Zhong Nanshan can indeed be downloaded for free on the official website of “Science China” magazine.
In response to the above-mentioned overseas open source articles changing fees on CNKI, a reporter from “Daily Economic News” tried to contact Academician Zhong Nanshan for comment, but as of press time, no reply has been received.
Dialogue HowNet:
Free through foreign library search,
Why is there a charge for going through the main station?
A paper “Thermoelectric characteristics of minerals semiconductor in earth’s deep crust and their seismogenic significance” (“Thermoelectric characteristics of minerals semiconductor in earth’s deep crust and their seismogenic significance”) included in the journal library of the main website of CNKI. The main website of CNKI charges 3 Yuan, and through CNKI’s “foreign language general database”, you can actually jump directly to foreign databases for open access.
Every time the reporter spends 3 yuan to download the paper on the main site, and then compares it with the free article obtained from the foreign database, it is found that the text content of the two is also exactly the same.
It is worth noting that when searching for the above-mentioned articles on CNKI’s main site, the “General Library” is also the paid version of the default search and display, and will not display the free version of the foreign language journal library at the same time.
The reporter contacted CNKI customer service as a consumer to reflect the above-mentioned problems. The following is the QQ chat record between each reporter (NBD) and the manual customer service of CNKI readers (hereinafter referred to as CNKI):
NBD：For the same article, there will be a charge for searching through the journal channel on the CNKI homepage. If you enter it through the CNKI foreign library, you can directly lead to the original source of Elsevier (foreign journal). Why is there a charge for journals through the main site, but free through foreign library searches?
HowNet:Hello, the teacher in charge of this hair has checked the reason. Can this be refunded for you? 3 yuan will be paid back to the account. Generally, this is not the case. It is necessary to check the reason, whether it is an error on the Internet or something.
NBD：What is the Internet error? I checked many papers by the way, and all of them have the situation I said. Is this still an Internet error?
HowNet:It may be because the CNKI Center website is included in cooperation with this magazine, and it is paid. The foreign language source website is not owned by their magazine, so it is free.
Are there multiple articles? This also seems to be from Elsevier. The source of the (HowNet) foreign library is Elsevier, which is free. The library on the homepage of CNKI is the source of the magazine, so it is charged. This may be the reason, and you need to check with the teacher in charge.
NBD：So why is it free at Elsevier, while the source of the magazine is charged? What is the reason for the fee for the source of HowNet Magazine?
HowNet:For the articles of the magazine, CNKI signed a contract with the editorial department of the magazine, and paid the copyright fee, as well as the magazine fee, etc., so the fee is charged.
NBD：Then, as a personal reader/user, I can get Elsevier’s source for free through the CNKI external library, why do I need to pay to download it through CNKI magazine’s source?
HowNet:I don’t know exactly here.
CNKI gross profit margin 53.35%
“Crushing” nearly 90% of A-share listed companies
According to every reporter’s review, by virtue of its market share in domestic colleges and universities and rising fees, CNKI’s gross profit margin has been stable at over 50% in the last five fiscal years.
The latest 2021 annual report shows that during the reporting period, Tongfang Knowledge Network’s net profit was about 194 million yuan, with a gross profit margin of 53.35%.
Image source: Tongfang 2021 Annual Report
What is the concept of 53.35% gross profit margin? According to Wind financial terminal data, this gross profit margin ranks 574th among all 4,690 listed companies with comparable data in A-shares, ranking among the top 12.24% of companies, exceeding nearly 90% (87.76%) of listed companies.
So, where does CNKI’s 53.35% gross profit margin come from? What kind of profit model can enable CNKI to earn nearly 200 million yuan in net profit every year?
(1) The purchase fee of the user database can easily reach millions
The official website of CNKI shows that CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure, CNKI) is the largest academic resource channel provider in China. Major markets include universities, public libraries, research institutes, innovative enterprises, hospitals, agricultural technology associations, etc. The market share of colleges and universities is 100%, and the share of other major markets is more than 60%.

Institutional users usually spend millions of dollars a year when purchasing CNKI databases. Every time the reporter saw on the procurement website in late April, many colleges and universities issued an announcement on the procurement of CNKI database services in 2022 that month. E.g:
The transaction price of CNKI database of Fudan University in 2022 is 825,000 yuan, the transaction price of CNKI database of China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing) in 2022 is about 1.07 million yuan, the budget of Zhejiang University to purchase CNKI database is 1.12 million yuan, and the transaction price of CNKI database of Southwest University for Nationalities in 2022 1.16 million yuan, the CNKI database of Beijing University of Science and Technology, the transaction price in 2022 is 1.3 million yuan…

In addition to colleges and universities, there are also banks, hospitals, and provincial and municipal academies of social sciences that have recently announced the procurement contracts for using CNKI database services in 2022. Among them, the Institute of Agricultural Information of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences ordered CNKI series of literature resource projects in 2022 with a winning bid price of 1.15 million yuan.
(2) Subscription fees have been rising year after year
In recent years, CNKI renewal fees have been repeatedly criticized by academic institutions.
In April of this year, news that the Chinese Academy of Sciences was considering suspending the use of CNKI made a hot search due to the high cost of database renewals.
According to the screenshots from the Internet, the information from the Documentation and Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences shows that the CNKI database has always maintained a relatively high increase in the price of renewals. tyrant”. Therefore, the Documentation and Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is considering to form an alternative guarantee for the CNKI database through the VIP journal database and Wanfang dissertation database.
In fact, it is not just the Chinese Academy of Sciences Group that can bear such a heavy burden. In the past ten years, six universities, including Peking University, Wuhan University of Technology, and Nanjing Normal University, once announced the suspension of CNKI due to the high increase in renewal fees.
In 2016, Wuhan University of Technology said in a statement at the time that since 2000, Tongfang Knowledge Network’s quotation has increased by more than 10% every year, and in 2012, the increase was as high as 24.36%. From 2010 to 2016, the average annual increase was 18.98%. [1]
“HowNet will set the price according to the condition of the set album (sub-library). Under the condition that the subscription content remains unchanged, there will be an annual increase of 5% to 10%.” A database orderer from a university in Beijing was interviewed by reporters on WeChat. He said that CNKI’s price increase for his school has been maintained at an average of about 6.5% in the past three years.
Every reporter found through the relevant procurement network query that the Beijing Language and Culture University’s CNKI database procurement cost was 445,000 yuan in 2019; 505,000 yuan in 2020, a year-on-year increase of 13.5%; %; about 655,000 yuan in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 15.9%. The average annual growth rate in the past three years has been around 13.8%.
The procurement cost of the CNKI database of Fudan University is about 754,900 yuan in 2019; about 784,800 yuan in 2020, a year-on-year increase of about 4%; about 800,500 yuan in 2021, a year-on-year increase of about 2%; 825,000 yuan, a year-on-year increase of about 3.1%. The average annual increase in the past three years is about 3%.
Regarding the increase, the above-mentioned database orderer further explained to the reporter: “Sometimes there are times when it is less than 5%. The pricing and increase of schools of different scales may be different, which should be related to the sales strategy and the negotiation between the A and B parties. .”
When asked how he thought about the prices set by CNKI, he told every reporter, “The unreasonable thing is that the base is relatively high, and there are different degrees of increase every year, while the prices of other Chinese databases are relatively stable. Because of CNKI’s influence among teachers and students, libraries and schools will not easily stop ordering, so it is relatively strong in terms of price.”
The reporter found that, purely from the price point of view, compared with other databases on the market, CNKI is indeed a bit higher. According to the announcement of the transaction results of the 13 database procurement projects of the library of South-Central University for Nationalities, the transaction amount of CNKI reached 724,000 yuan, while that of Chaoxingshutu was 231,000 yuan and Wanfang was 130,000 yuan. Judging from the school’s procurement situation, the price of CNKI database is 3 times and 5 times that of Chaoxingjitu and Wanfang respectively.
According to the above-mentioned person, “The literature gathered on the CNKI platform is of relatively complete types on the one hand, and a large volume on the other. Relatively speaking, comprehensive retrieval is also more convenient. There are more types, and they sell according to the album type when they are sold. It’s expensive.”
(3) Contribution income from duplicate checking services
Every reporter noticed that CNKI’s duplicate checking service is also one of its revenue contributors. A CNKI person once revealed to Southern Weekly that two-thirds of CNKI’s income comes from the database, and a large part of the remaining one-third relies on “review fees”. [2]
Thesis checking is a hurdle that many college students cannot bypass on their way to graduation. Generally speaking, it is necessary to compare the graduation thesis with the existing database to ensure that the degree of overlap between the paper and the existing paper meets the school’s regulations.
according toeducateAccording to data from the Ministry of Education, there will be 3,012 institutions of higher learning in the country in 2021. [3] In the introduction of the academic misconduct checking system, CNKI stated that more than 99% of colleges and universities are its paying users. In addition to CNKI, domestic academic databases such as VIP and Wanfang are also partners of some schools for duplication checking.
At the beginning of 2019, in the academic fraud incident of young actor Zhai Tianlin, netizens checked his 2,783-word essay, which cost 68 yuan to check on CNKI at that time. According to the charging standards of VIP and Wanfang’s duplicate checking system, a paper with the same number of words only costs 12 yuan at VIP and 7.8 yuan at Wanfang. [4]

2018 to present
HowNet was involved in 1,075 disputes as a defendant
HowNet also has the problem of collecting university students’ dissertations for profit.
A doctoral student at Beijing Foreign Studies University revealed in an interview with reporters on WeChat that his paper was included in CNKI in March, but he did not receive any benefits.
The reporter inquired about the “Notice of Remuneration for Dissertations” on the official website of CNKI and found that the copyright holder of the doctoral dissertation can get a “CNKI network database general retrieval reading card” of 400 yuan and a cash remuneration of 100 yuan. If the value is simply added, it is only 500 yuan. This is already the highest paid by CNKI for a dissertation.
At the end of the above-mentioned notice, it is written, “Please confirm that the authors of the published dissertation will contact our agency to receive the remuneration.”
That is to say, authors also need to contact CNKI by themselves to get paid.
The aforementioned doctoral student at Beijing Foreign Studies University told reporters that she herself was completely unaware of the remuneration.
The reporter searched on social platforms and found that this situation is not an isolated case, and even some users said that they also need to pay for downloading their own papers.
Every time a reporter inquired about the “China Knowledge Network Membership Traffic Billing Standard Table” on the official website of CNKI, it was found that the regular digital publishing download charging standard for full-text journals is 0.5 yuan/page, master’s thesis is 7.5 yuan/book, and doctoral thesis is 7.5 yuan/book. It is 9.5 yuan/book. Before the price adjustment at the end of last year, the master and doctoral dissertations were 15 yuan/book and 25 yuan/book respectively.
The reporter randomly found a high-downloaded paper on CNKI. The signature is Chen Hao’s doctoral dissertation “Optimal Management of Fuel Cell/Lithium Battery Hybrid Power System” from Zhejiang University. Book. Theoretically, the above paper can bring about 17,195 yuan of income to CNKI. However, for Chen Hao, the author of the doctoral dissertation, he can only get a 400-yuan recharge card and a 100-yuan cash reward.
Every time a reporter inquires about Qixinbao app, it is found that the electronic magazine “China Academic Journal (CD Version)”, the organizer of CNKI, has its own risks as high as 2,350. The recent types of risks are disputes over the right to disseminate information on the Internet of works and copyrights. genus, infringement disputes. From 2018 to May 13, 2022, the magazine has involved a total of 1,285 judicial related cases. Among them, there were 1,075 related cases in which the magazine was a defendant, accounting for more than 83%.
In terms of case types, there were 638 disputes over copyright ownership and infringement, 560 disputes over infringement of the right to disseminate works information on the Internet, 35 disputes over infringement of other copyright property rights, 26 disputes over intellectual property rights infringement, and 16 disputes over copyright infringement of works.

Every reporter noticed that in these cases, the plaintiff was mostly an educational informatization enterprise called Beijing Century Chaoxing Information Technology Development Co., Ltd. In the legal document of the dispute case with the electronic magazine “China Academic Journals (CD Version)”, the company stated that it had signed a “personal work authorization” with a certain author, and had the right to disseminate information on the Internet of the articles involved, which was proprietary in nature. right to use. However, CNKI provided paid online reading and paid download services for the above-mentioned articles involved without the plaintiff’s authorization.
Several judgments showed that the court believed that CNKI had infringed on the information network dissemination rights enjoyed by Century Chaoxing Company over the works involved, and ordered CNKI to compensate the company for economic losses ranging from RMB 10,000 to more than RMB 20,000.
However, some legal documents also show that the court determined that the plaintiff did not have a clear and definite subject qualification for litigation, so the lawsuit was dismissed.
At present, a total of 405 legal documents have been published on Qixinbao, and there are 401 cases in which the electronic magazine “China Academic Journal (CD Version)” is the defendant.
In addition, the reporter also noticed that there are also many disputes in which the plaintiff is an individual, including Dou Yingtai, Chen Yingsong, Wang Bisheng, Tang Xiaoying and other domestic writers. At present, every reporter has been unable to search for works signed by the aforementioned authors on CNKI.
Among the dispute cases in which the plaintiff is an individual, the most concerned is that Zhao Dexin, a retired professor at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, sued CNKI because of the unauthorized collection of more than 100 papers. Professor Zhao Dexin has been appealing for his rights since 2013, and all the cases have been won, with a total compensation of more than 700,000 yuan. [5]
On December 10, 2021, CNKI issued the “Explanation on Issues Related to “Professor Zhao Dexin sued CNKI for compensation”” to apologize to Professor Zhao Dexin, and after losing the lawsuit, all his papers were removed from the shelves and have not been included so far.
Zhao Dexin’s wife, Zhou Xiuluan, also chose to defend her rights. The court ordered CNKI to compensate Zhou Xiuluan between 2,100 and 2,400 yuan for a single article. CNKI later lodged an appeal against the excessive compensation amount. Recently, the Beijing Intellectual Property Court rejected CNKI’s appeal in the second instance and made a final judgment upholding the original judgment.
In this regard, lawyer Yu Wenzhu told every reporter, “Thesis is a written work and is protected by the Copyright Law in accordance with the law. In recent years, there have been many cases where the authors of the thesis have sued CNKI for copyright infringement. The author of the paper has signed a contract with the publishing house when submitting the manuscript, agreeing to have the paper included in CNKI, or agreeing to transfer the property rights in the copyright to the publishing house, and the publishing house has signed a license agreement with CNKI. However, the court held that the author and the publishing house had The relevant authorization clauses signed are standard clauses, so the clauses are invalid, and the publisher has not obtained the right to sublicense to CNKI from the author. Therefore, CNKI should obtain the author’s consent (permission) to publish relevant papers, otherwise it constitutes a Acts that infringe the author’s copyright (specifically, the infringement of the right of information network dissemination in the copyright).”
Attorney Yu Wenzhu further stated, “In practice, CNKI’s common practice is to include articles first, and then pay the license fee after contacting the author, which is equivalent to reconciling with the author after the fact and re-authorizing. Not worth promoting.”
HowNet: Will take the investigation of the State Administration for Market Regulation as an opportunity to conduct thorough rectification
Although CNKI was only established about 2 years earlier than VIP and Wanfang, with the passage of time, CNKI’s advantages have expanded year by year, and it has gradually become the largest academic resource database in China, and even the standardized format of domestic academic papers is also formulated by CNKI. At the same time, with the increasing abundance of scientific research resources, CNKI has a stronger voice in the industry.
It is undeniable that, sitting on the largest academic resource bank in China, CNKI has a huge advantage in checking duplicates, but the high cost has also been questioned by many people as a monopoly.
The database orderer of a university in Beijing told the reporter, “The duplicate checking system provided by CNKI for schools can be checked once for free for students, but once is not enough. Therefore, students can only (go outside) spend money to buy extra number of duplicate checks.”
Every time the reporter learned that although CNKI has always claimed that it never provides duplication checking services to individuals, because of the fear that the repetition rate will be too high to pass the test, college students often use other means to check duplicates at their own expense.
For the above statement, every reporter has been confirmed from the mouth of college graduates. Xiao Zhang (pseudonym), a 2017 graduate of a university in Sichuan, said that the school’s account will provide a free opportunity to check how. 4 times. Xiao Zhang also added, “The price of checking weights still fluctuates. The closer to the graduation season, the more expensive the price.”
Regarding the above phenomenon, People’s Daily Online once commented: “HowNet does not provide students with personal duplicate checking services, and in the process of cooperating with colleges and universities, it provides few opportunities for free duplicate checking. To a certain extent, it has helped students have to The act of paying for duplication checking services from criminals.”
On April 26, World Intellectual Property Day, People’s Daily Online commented that CNKI has been repeatedly criticized by consumers for its price issue, frequently provoked public anger, and even raised doubts about suspected industry monopoly. It is reasonable to deeply reflect on the rationality of its own behavior. However, it is a pity that, in the midst of public opinion turmoil, we can’t see the actual actions of CNKI. What we see is that it takes advantage of the dominant market position of one company and continuously raises prices to make all units embarrassed; we It is not seen that the institutions positioned as “national knowledge infrastructure” fulfill their due social responsibilities, but they are seen to be earning a lot of money.
At the beginning of May 2022, every reporter sent interview letters to CNKI and Tongfang several times on issues related to the inclusion of papers in the CNKI database and pricing disputes. On the evening of May 9, CNKI officials confirmed to reporters that they had received an interview letter, but the company “will not accept interviews now.”
The reporter noticed that recently, some netizens have asked Tongfang, the parent company of CNKI, on the SSE e-interaction on issues such as the reasonableness of CNKI database renewal fees and whether a large number of negative public opinions have affected the company’s profitability. After the market closed on May 9, Tongfang replied: “We have paid attention to the public opinion of CNKI, and CNKI is also reflecting on it, and is studying to optimize and improve its business model, and actively carry out rectification. CNKI will take relevant rectification measures to choose the right time. Society is open and responds.”
On May 13, Tongfang CNKI (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. issued an announcement saying that on the same day, the State Administration for Market Regulation opened an investigation into CNKI’s suspected monopolistic behavior, and the company firmly supported and fully cooperated. The company will take this investigation as an opportunity to conduct in-depth self-examination, comprehensive self-examination, thorough rectification, operate in compliance with laws and regulations, innovate the development model, assume the social responsibility of China’s knowledge infrastructure, and strive to build CNKI into a world-class with Chinese characteristics. It promotes academic communication and exchanges, promotes national scientific and technological innovation, and provides better services for authors and readers.
Guangming Daily:Release the signal of normalized supervision of the platform economy in accordance with the law
In response to this matter, Guangming Daily published a comment. The author is Shi Jianzhong, a member of the Expert Advisory Group of the Anti-Monopoly Committee of the State Council and a professor at China University of Political Science and Law.
Guangming Daily commented that the State Administration for Market Regulation, on the basis of previous inspections, filed an investigation into CNKI’s suspected monopolistic behavior. It is of great significance to maintain fair competition in the academic literature database service market, to promote knowledge production and flow, to promote innovation and development, and to protect the interests of consumers and social public interests with authors and readers as the main body.
The comments pointed out that the platform economy is a new organizational method of productivity and a new driving force for economic development. It plays an important role in optimizing resource allocation, promoting industrial upgrading, expanding consumer markets, and stabilizing employment. CNKI is a typical platform company, and the investigation into it is to thoroughly implement the specific measures of the CPC Central Committee to implement normalized supervision, which is conducive to releasing a clear and clear signal to the market, so that the market can establish a more reliable, stable and sustainable expectation for the rule of law. , enhance the self-compliance awareness of platform enterprises, guide and motivate platform enterprises to carry out high-level competition through technological innovation and model innovation, and continuously improve their core competitiveness. Through the implementation of normalized anti-monopoly supervision, we will continue to purify the competitive environment in the platform economy, optimize the innovation mechanism, ensure the healthy and high-quality development of the platform economy, and give better play to the platform economy’s role in promoting technological innovation, prospering the economy, facilitating people’s lives, Active role in participating in international competition.
