Jade sales enter the era of livestreaming

Yunnan venue hosts hundreds of broadcasters

Wang Qing was clearly unhappy with the amount being offered for a rock that might contain high-quality jade.

Speaking into his phone during a livestream auction in Ruili, a city in Yunnan province on China's border with Myanmar, he said: "7,000 yuan? For this? Before you offer a second price, friend, please take a closer look at the clarity and color."
