China's largest e-commerce giant Alibaba has sued a "brushing" firm for 216 million yuan in compensation.
This marks Alibaba's first court case against a business that allegedly helps online merchants artificially boost their transaction volumes and customer ratings by using people posing as buyers.
Shatui, which has four employees, helped to create over 26 million yuan worth of false transactions in two years for 3,000 shops on Alibaba's two most popular online shopping malls: Taobao and Tmall.
