With the rapid development of Internet information technology, the Internet industry has become one of the most dynamic and competitive industries in the world economic development today. Studying anti-monopoly issues in the Internet industry is of great theoretical and practical significance for enriching the anti-monopoly system and solving the obstacles faced by the application of China's anti-monopoly law to the Internet industry. Based on the basic theory of anti-monopoly regulations, this paper aims to distinguish the Internet industry from traditional industries in the characteristics of network externalities, bilateral markets, compatibility and standardization, dynamics and innovation, combined with typical anti-monopoly cases in the Internet industry in China and foreign countries in recent years, to analyze the application of the Anti-monopoly Law to the Internet industry. In determining market dominance and identifying monopolistic behavior, technical difficulties arise. To address these challenges, theoretical analysis and practical experience from anti-monopoly efforts in the internet industry in jurisdictions with well-developed anti-monopoly laws are taken into consideration. This paper makes practical comments and prospects on the anti-vehicle interruption of China's Internet industry, and puts forward creative targeted suggestions.
