Core Viewpoint - The ongoing anti-corruption efforts in major internet companies, particularly ByteDance, highlight a persistent issue of corruption within the industry, with significant numbers of employees being dismissed for violations and criminal activities [1][2]. Group 1: Anti-Corruption Measures - ByteDance reported the dismissal of 100 employees for violating company policies, with 18 involved in serious criminal activities, and 8 cases referred to judicial authorities [1]. - In 2024, ByteDance dismissed a total of 353 employees for violations and referred 39 cases for criminal prosecution [1]. - Tencent has reported over 390 cases of violations in the past six years, resulting in the dismissal of 550 employees [1]. - JD.com investigated 221 corruption cases in 2024, including 191 for commercial bribery and 30 for embezzlement [1]. Group 2: Challenges in Anti-Corruption Efforts - The internal nature of these anti-corruption measures limits their effectiveness, as they primarily involve self-investigation without external oversight [2]. - Despite annual reports, the number of cases and individuals involved in corruption has not decreased, indicating that the underlying issues remain unaddressed [2]. - The large scale of these companies creates an environment conducive to corruption, as they control significant resources and decision-making power [2]. Group 3: Recommendations for Improvement - To combat corruption effectively, companies should enhance transparency by opening up their industry chains and introducing competitive mechanisms [3]. - Improving the bidding process and ensuring transparency in procurement can help mitigate corruption risks, as evidenced by past incidents involving high-level executives [4]. - Establishing a multi-faceted supervision system that includes third-party audits and accessible reporting channels for employees and the public can break the "island effect" of internal oversight [5][6].
