Judges join livestreaming to auction seized goods
HANGZHOU－Judges have joined celebrities and social influencers in using online shopping platforms to livestream auctions of seized goods.
In the middle of this month, two judges from Ningbo Intermediate People's Court auctioned a sea-view mansion, a parking lot, mobile phone numbers and other assets seized in legal cases. They received more than 8,000 views in an hour.
"I did not expect the livestream to be so successful, although we had prepared for half a month," said Jin Shou, one of the judges.
The turnover of the livestreaming auction exceeded 100 million yuan ($14.28 million) after the judges introduced the items to the judicial auction.
"It is adorable to see the judges doing the livestream compared to how serious they must look in court," said a netizen using the name "Ocean's miracle".
