Xianyu Denies Responsibility for Illicit Conversations Involving Minors

A media investigation has documented illicit conversations involving minors on Xianyu, China's leading resale platform operated by Alibaba. In response, Xianyu stated that the conversations occurred on other platforms and called for cross-platform action to address the issue. The company did not accept direct responsibility for the content identified in the investigation. The report highlights concerns about the presence of such activity connected to a major e-commerce resale service. Xianyu's response emphasizes the need for cooperation across multiple platforms rather than treating the problem as isolated to its own service. The investigation and the company's statement raise questions about how resale platforms monitor and moderate user interactions. No further details about specific cases, timelines, or the identity of those involved were provided in the available material. The exchange underscores ongoing challenges in regulating user-generated content on large digital marketplaces in China.
