Quote:
A popular China-based car reviewer known as "Boss Cai" reportedly aimed to damage Tesla's reputation in the country by spreading false information. Tesla sued him for defamation and came out with another victory...
Boss Cai took to Douyin (China's TikTok) to spread misinformation about the US EV maker. Boss stated publicly that he talked with a friend who works as a Tesla supplier and learned that the company doesn't do proper quality inspections. He also shared that the inspectors used their status to convince others to provide personal favors. The car reviewer also used the videos to promote his own company while defaming Tesla...
The court decided in October 2022 that Boss had used the social media app to intentionally make up false stories to defame Tesla... Boss had to pay 100,000 yuan  ($14,400) and issue a public apology...
Boss quickly appealed, but still lost. He must post his public apology on his car review website on TikTok, leaving it visible to the public for 90 days. The apology must also be posted on the reviewer's WeChat and Weibo accounts for the full duration.
