You're questioning whether a native Chinese speaker somehow misunderstood a discussion written in Chinese on a Chinese social media platform?

After a competitor accused them of falsifying product specifications, the company publicly responded by claiming that it was merely a typo and stated that they would not provide compensation. Under Chinese law, however, this kind of false representation can require a refund plus compensation amounting to ten times the purchase price.

Their CEO had previously served as a founder or senior executive at several well-known Chinese companies, some of which later failed or suffered from major strategic mistakes. Yet during the early development of XTEINK, the founder concealed much of that problematic history. You can find reporting on it here: https://www.cqnews.net/1/detail/1346418331771338752/web/cont...

You say, "Not that I don't believe you," but at the same time you're treating what I said as though I simply made it up based on a few random comments I happened to see on social media.

Come on. The problem here is you, not me. If you are not even capable of searching Chinese websites yourself, then you are in no position to question me about what is being discussed in Chinese.

No, I was merely trying to clarify what the source(s) were.

Thanks :) And thanks also for the previous notes about RedNote, because I found a bunch of what you were talking about.

So yes, I didn't disbelieve you, nor tried to imply anything, I just wanted to get more pointers to where I could read more about it myself.
