Investigators find platforms skipped license checks
Investigators found these platforms skipped proper license checks, letting "ghost shops" run without real locations or oversight.
Some orders were even secretly passed between restaurants without customers knowing.
Now, the platforms have started removing shady vendors and cutting off risky partnerships.
They're also banned from adding new cake shops for up to nine months, all part of a bigger push to keep online food orders safe in China.
