Regulators Make Another Call for Better Protection of Gig Workers

What’s new: Chinese regulators made another effort to press the country’s biggest internet platform operators to better protect labor rights, the latest move in a wide-ranging campaign to regulate the expansive tech sector.

Four central government ministries issued a joint guidance order Friday to 11 internet giants including Alibaba Group, Tencent, Meituan and Didi, asking them to step up efforts to safeguard workers’ rights and interests.
