On the evening of September 10, Li aroused controversy by saying on a livestream that consumers should reflect on whether they have worked hard enough to improve their income instead of complaining about product prices. His comments have seen a major backlash from netizens. As of 1:00 p.m. on September 12, Li’s followers on the social platform Weibo had dropped from 30.43 million to 29.23 million.
