Yingshi Innovation said on Weibo it received a tip alleging an organised
campaign on Amazon to post malicious negative reviews of its products and
reported the matter to police. Three suspects have been criminally detained, it
said; the alleged organiser is a senior executive at a peer company who has been
placed under administrative detention after allegedly hiring black- and
gray-market groups to instruct overseas students to post false negative reviews,
including claims that a plug-in-only product had battery-life problems.
