Abstract Retail industry is an important economic area in which a country can induce production and promote consumption. Retailers' purchases will affect the pricing and volume of the upstream manufacturing products. The excessive openness of our retail industry provides great convenience for the entrance and expansion of the multinational retailers with huge capital strength and rich experience. The relationship between the foreign investment policy-making and the formation of transnational retailers' relative market domination position is closely related, as well as the relationship between the imperfection of distribution policy and irregularities of transnational retailers. Thus, policies should focus on the regulation of "quantity", "location" and so on, and the government should ensure the implementation of such policies.
