Global Times｜315晚会大曝光：卫生用品、食品安全和数字经济

'3.15' consumer rights gala puts the spotlight on sanitary products, food safety, and digital economy
Mar 16, 2025

China Media Group's 35th 3.15 Consumer Rights Gala, revealed a host of business misconduct, including substandard disposable products, food safety breaches, excessive repair fees, illegal high-interest online loans, personal data leaks, AI harassment calls, online lotteries, and the sale of wires and cables that fail to meet national standards.

Among the first revelations was a scandal in Jining, Shandong Province, involving Liangshan Xixi Paper Products. The firm allegedly purchased scraps and defective sanitary napkins and baby diapers from recognized brands, then repackaged them for sale at prices soaring from as little as 260 yuan per ton to as much as 8,000 yuan per ton.

The gala also uncovered questionable practices at several disposable underwear factories in Shangqiu, Henan Province, where producers reportedly used dubious raw materials and bypassed proper sterilization procedures, despite their product labels suggesting otherwise.

China's largest home appliance maintenance platform, Zhuomuniao, also came under spotlight. Over 6,000 complaints were filed against its repair technicians for allegedly imposing exorbitant service fees.

Food safety was another key focus. In Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, multiple seafood producers were accused of using excessive phosphate-based water-retention agents in shrimp processing, inflating water content by up to 20 percent.

The gala also exposed an e-signature service operated by Jiedaibao, an online lending platform, which was found to encourage illegal usury lenders to evade supervision, prompting concerns about the misuse of digital lending tools.

Shanghai Zhiyouqing Network Technology was the subject of another major revelation, with its AI phone-call bots allegedly fueling a surge in spam calls.
