C Hing, you got the issue backwards, man.
What's happening in HK now is, the grocery story is selling stuff at lower prices than the big chains, so the big chains are not happy. It is likely that the big chains are pressuring the wholeseller/distributor to "do something about the grocery store" so that it won't/can't sell at prices lower than what the big chains are selling.
Resorting to tactics like that is clearly anti-competitive la.
If HK has competition / antitrust laws, there may well be a legal case on this.
