Home Appliance Firm Claims Alibaba Hid Its Products After Pinduoduo Partnership

One of China’s leading microwave manufacturers has accused Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. of blocking traffic to its products and demanding it choose between the e-commerce giant and up-and-coming rival Pinduoduo Inc.

The claims made by Guangdong Galanz Group Co. Ltd come around two months after Pinduoduo’s founder complained of a practice in the sector that he described as “forced exclusivity.”
