Alibaba: Chinese regulator slaps huge fine on tech giant

Regulators in China said the internet giant had abused its dominant market position for several years.

In a statement the company said it accepted the ruling and would "ensure its compliance".

Analysts say the fine shows China intends to move against internet platforms that it thinks are too big.

While not well known outside China, inside the country Alibaba is an ever-present behemoth, the BBC's Robin Brant reports from Shanghai.
