TREE NEWS update: Chinese auto information platform Dongchedi denied online rumors that it paid bloggers to smear the Zunjie V800 and that its annual revenue exceeded 24.5 billion yuan. A company official told Shanghai Securities News that the claims are false, that the 24.5 billion yuan figure originated from an AI-generated article published in March, and that Dongchedi has traced the sources and will take legal action against those spreading the rumors.
Dongchedi Denies Rumors of 24.5B Yuan Revenue and Smearing Zunjie
AI take
The notable detail is not the denial itself but the mechanism: an AI-generated article from March is being cited as the origin of a revenue figure now circulating as fact. That points to a broader problem for Chinese platform and auto-sector coverage, where synthetic content can be laundered into rumor and then treated as reporting. Dongchedi's legal threat raises the stakes, but the more consequential question is whether tracing and suing sources meaningfully deters AI-driven misinformation, or simply moves it elsewhere.
