Despite crackdown, mainland Chinese social media posts still selling services in Hong Kong

Despite a crackdown, mainland Chinese social media posts are still selling services in Hong Kong, according to a report by the South China Morning Post. The services being sold include various products and experiences, and are being promoted through social media platforms. This phenomenon is notable as it highlights the persistence of cross-border commerce despite regulatory efforts to restrict it.

The continued sale of services in Hong Kong through mainland Chinese social media posts has significant implications for social commerce. It underscores the importance of social media as a channel for cross-border commerce and highlights the challenges faced by regulators in restricting such activities. As social commerce continues to grow, it is likely that we will see more instances of cross-border commerce, and companies and regulators will need to adapt to these changes.
