Author and review

Who writes: Zhi Yuan

Zhi Yuan is the editor behind the explainers on sugar dating, financial dependence, scams and legal risk.

The English edition is a condensed adaptation of the Chinese reporting, not a word-for-word translation. Arguments, risk signals and legal limits are kept; local detail is shortened.

Every article page shows the author, the review desk, the publication date and the last update.

Who checks it

Legal wording, hotline numbers and official links are checked against the National Laws and Regulations Database (flk.npc.gov.cn) and official government pages before publication.

Cases are anonymised or written as composites. No identifying detail, real name, employer or address is published.

What we do not do

• No matching, introductions, recruitment or contact details.
• No paid placement from dating platforms, agencies or MCNs.
• No posing as a lawyer, doctor or police officer.
• No accusation against an unverified individual or platform.
