Chinese e-commerce vendors that want to sell products on TikTok Shop in the U.S. as an alternative to Amazon are upset.
Chinese e-commerce vendors are expressing discontent with the increased enforcement of regulations by the U.S. version of TikTok. This move is causing concern among Chinese sellers who view the platform as an alternative to Amazon.
Chinese-owned TikTok, which faces the threat of having to divest its US operations or be banned, has in recent weeks taken a harder stance toward enforcing its internal rules, according to five Chinese vendors on the site and an industry association that represents 3,000 Chinese stores selling products online.
