Beijing’s market regulator summoned Taobao/Tmall, JD.com, Pinduoduo, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu over concerns about the clarity of 618 promotional disclosures. The move signals sustained regulatory focus on consumer protection and on moderating aggressive competition in China’s e-commerce sector.
Doubao is expected to launch paid subscription tiers in late June, monetizing advanced productivity features while keeping basic chatbot services free. The document suggests a phased plan to expand into e-commerce and traffic-generation features for Douyin in Q3 before stabilizing operations in Q4.
Alibaba is preparing to integrate its Qwen AI platform with Taobao and Tmall to enable chat-based product discovery, comparison, and purchasing. The plan also includes commerce-focused AI skills such as logistics tracking and after-sales support, alongside an expected Taobao-native assistant with virtual try-ons and price tracking.
Coupang confirmed an additional 165,000 users were affected by a data leak, adding to a breach that previously impacted more than 33 million customers in South Korea. The incident is now influencing alliance management, with South Korean officials and US stakeholders linking the case to broader trade, tariff, and digital-platform regulatory tensions.
Social media footage showed shoppers scuffling over furniture during apparent clearance sales as Ikea prepares to close seven stores in China from Feb 2, according to the source. The closures align with a strategic shift toward targeted growth in major markets, smaller-format stores, and stronger online sales amid intense e-commerce competition.
Police in Suzhou dismantled a counterfeit Herbalife operation that allegedly earned over 20 million yuan, seizing nearly 2 tons of raw materials and detaining 12 suspects across Jiangsu and Guangdong. The case underscores the scale of counterfeit health products and the growing role of e-commerce platform intelligence in enforcement.
