A MAN WAS RECENTLY found guilty of running a website that helped online shops falsify the number of transactions they made in order to fool people into believing they were trusted by consumers. That is the first time someone has been punished for this kind of crime in China. Beijing News comments:

The man was found guilty of "illegal trading", as well as "violating the personal information of citizens".

Such deeds should be punished because they are a type of fraud and ruin the normal order of online retail. With the help of such people, the shops that provide bad products and services cannot be eliminated from the market, due to a lack of customers.
