TikTok executive commented on the incident involving Pang Donglai and Chai Dduo: Apart from filing complaints, we strongly advocate for companies to seek legal recourse.

On the afternoon of May 7th, Li Liang, the vice president of Douyin Group, commented again on the incident involving Pang Donglai and Chai Duoduo through his personal Weibo account. He stated, "Some people say that the platform can judge in minutes by pressing a few buttons, and even believe that the platform should not require proof from the party claiming infringement, the platform should not wait for complaints but should take proactive action, etc. These views seem reasonable, but they are detached from the executable reality. The fact is that some infringements can only be provided by the parties involved or other relevant third parties." Li Liang stated that in addition to actively filing complaints, he has always advocated for corporate litigation rights protection, although it may take longer, it is currently the most effective approach, "If you do not file a complaint proactively, these platforms will not have the ability to understand the actual situation, and false content will not be addressed."
