Isn't China comparably tough on this sort of thing?

So do they just let it slide for their own companies or does the rest of the world get the gambling-addiction-app and the chinese don't? That screenshot is very much in english

You win prizes like save two dollars on orders. They're probably just copying what Xiaomi does anyway. Same stuff. Shopee does it too.

AliExpress is for Chinese to sell abroad, not for locals. These games are actually targeted at cheapskates that want to save every dollar possible. They're the equivalent of coupons but you have to work for them.

Tiktok vs Douyin is the same stuff. International gets the far more addictive app
