In August 2026, a merchant successfully registered through Kuaishou's "0-yuan store opening" program after review, but received no orders. In October, the merchant received a penalty notice, fined 2,400 yuan and docked 24 points on the grounds of "evading business qualifications (personal safety)," prompting netizens to complain about the short-video e-commerce platform.
On September 11, a Kuaishou streamer read out a statement twice during a live broadcast, publicly criticizing the Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jinping, and calling for an end to the one-party dictatorship through a non-violent, non-cooperative velvet revolution. About two and a half minutes later, the live stream was forcibly shut down.
Kuaishou user Han Yunxiao publicly expressed defiance against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Xi Jinping during a livestream. The stream was subsequently shut down, and the account was permanently banned three minutes later.
In the early morning of December 22nd, the Kuaishou platform was suspected of being attacked by hackers, with a large number of pornographic live stream content appearing on the platform. Even its official live stream accounts were altered into pornographic live stream rooms, attracting widespread attention from netizens.
