BEIJING: China's Internet regulator said on Sept 11 it had ordered "warnings and strict punishment" to bosses at popular social media app Xiaohongshu over its online content, slamming "trivial" and "negative" posts.
A statement from the Cyberspace Administration of China said "responsible individuals" at the Instagram-like platform would be punished after Xiaohongshu, known as RedNote in English, failed to "fulfil its main responsibility of content management".
