    　　2. Rights Protection Channel 12315 platform upgrade

    　　Consumers’ rights protection channels are more open. On March 14, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce held a press conference in Beijing, announcing that the second phase of the national 12315 Internet platform was officially launched. The upgraded 12315 platform has launched a corporate self-dispute handling mechanism and introduced Alibaba's real-person certification and other technologies. Consumers can also complain and report 24 hours a day, and are expected to complete dispute resolution online.

    　　In addition to the official website and app, during this upgrade, 12315's official mini program also logged in to Alipay for the first time. "For consumers, their rights protection channels have been further unblocked. Not only has it greatly improved the efficiency of complaints and reports, but it can also reduce the operating costs of consumer registration. On the other hand, it can also effectively avoid the possibility of malicious complaints and the possibility of identity being impersonated." Zou Liang, vice president of Ant Financial's Alipay Business Group, said. (Source: Tianxia Online Business)
