TREE NEWS update: Beijing’s Municipal Market Regulation Bureau and Finance Bureau issued a reward measure for reporting illegal market conduct, effective October 1, 2026. Verified reports of six categories of major violations can earn up to 1 million yuan. Delivery riders who report “ghost kitchens” or illegally modified electric bikes are also eligible for rewards of up to 500 yuan.
Beijing Offers Up to 1 Million Yuan for Reporting Illegal Market Conduct
The notable shift here is jurisdictional: a municipal market regulator and a finance bureau are jointly funding public tip-offs, extending enforcement capacity beyond the usual securities watchdog. Tying delivery riders into the same framework for food-safety and e-bike violations bundles consumer-protection and market-integrity reporting into one incentive scheme, which could widen the pipeline of low-level leads that surface larger cases. Whether such bounty programs translate into verified enforcement actions, rather than volume, is the open question.
