Livestreamers should stick to what they know

LI JIAQI, A LIVESTREAMING ANCHOR, has been in the spotlight after he recommended a particular seller of crabs to his followers in a livestreaming activity in September. China Daily writer Zhang Zhouxiang comments:

According to a report by Beijing News, the majority of the comments the recommended crab provider received were negative, with many who bought the crabs on Li's recommendation complaining the crabs were of very bad quality.

Li said that the crabs he recommended are from Yangcheng Lake, which is known throughout the country for its crabs. Yet when the reporter of Beijing News asked the retailer about the crabs it was selling, the reply was they are "of fine quality" but there was no mention of "Yangcheng Lake". Obviously, Li misrepresented the facts.
