According to reports from The Paper and others, on August 24, consumers claimed that the Taobao Tmall store "SKhynix Flagship Store" suddenly announced the termination of its operations, raising concerns about the after-sales warranty of the purchased memory modules. The store's homepage indicated that it plans to voluntarily terminate operations on September 9, 2026, and has removed all products, making it currently impossible to search for the store directly on Taobao.Customer service on the Taobao platform stated that if an order is still within the after-sales validity period after the store closes, customers can apply for repairs or refunds on the order details page; if there is no after-sales entry or the seller has not processed it, customers can contact platform customer service for assistance or check if they are entitled to the brand's official warranty. On August 25, SK Hynix's stock price opened lower and continued to decline, falling more than 4% as of the related report.In another report, members of the SK Hynix union voted against a preliminary wage agreement reached after two months of negotiations, with 50.08% of the 15,045 employees who participated in the vote opposing it, with only a 25-vote difference between approval and disapproval. The agreement originally included a 6.3% wage increase and adjusted the profit-sharing bonus to 40% cash and 60% company shares, whereas it was previously distributed entirely in cash.

Beijing Business Daily Financial Investigation Team published an article titled "The Surge of Cryptocurrency Speculators into Social Platforms," which points out that the chaos of cryptocurrency speculation has infiltrated platforms such as Xiaohongshu, Taobao, and Xianyu. What appears to be lifestyle sharing, newcomer benefits, or product links is, in fact, a diversion for cryptocurrency speculation, brewing a carefully woven hunting trap for ordinary people. From the perspective of diversion methods, it can be roughly divided into several situations, such as creating topics to build IP and setting up advertising links on platforms. Industry insiders believe that a "counter-hunting" battle against the chaos of cryptocurrency speculation has also begun, but to completely end this game, a joint effort from regulators, platforms, and users is needed.Not long ago, Pan Gongsheng, the governor of the People's Bank of China, publicly stated that efforts to crack down on the operation and speculation of virtual currencies within the country would continue. Since 2017, the People's Bank of China, together with relevant departments, has issued multiple policy documents to prevent and address the risks of domestic virtual currency trading and speculation, and these policy documents remain effective. In the next step, the People's Bank of China will continue to work with law enforcement agencies to combat the operation and speculation of virtual currencies within the country, maintain economic and financial order, and closely monitor and dynamically assess the development of overseas stablecoin values.
