Zhong Shanshan: Emotional consumption has been stifled by online shopping platforms, and their capabilities must be restricted.

On August 8, news emerged that Zhong Shanshan, the founder and chairman of Nongfu Spring, appeared on CCTV Finance's live program "Dialogue." During the broadcast, when discussing the currently popular e-commerce platforms in daily life, Zhong Shanshan stated that these platforms are a kind of special intermediary. "This intermediary is everywhere and has wiped out many retailers in the cities," he said. He believes that many shops in urban areas operate on an emotional consumption basis, but such consumption has now been stifled. "Young people are all drawn into their phone screens; where is creativity and emotion?" Therefore, he expressed the need to limit the power of these platforms.
