The Increasing Unrest Among JD.com Merchants
In a climate of rising tension and dissatisfaction, merchants affiliated with JD.com, one of China's leading e-commerce platforms, have resorted to protests demanding the return of their hard-earned money. A video that recently captured the attention of social media shows a group of merchants demonstrating outside JD.com's headquarters in Beijing on March 10, 2024. Dressed predominantly in black, they chanted slogans such as "JD.com, give us back our hard-earned money," while displaying placards alleging illegal fund freezes.
