Let's check out some of the stories that have made headlines on China's corporate 2 front this week.


We are joined live by Doug Young, company news chief for the English edition of Caixin.


Story 1:


Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba is suing a Taobao merchant suspected of selling counterfeit pet food.


Alibaba is suing the counterfeiter 3 for selling more than 2.6 million yuan worth of goods through Taobao.


In January this year, Alibaba sued two alleged 4 online counterfeit sellers who were selling fake Swarovski watches for 1.4 million yuan.


That marks the first time that an Internet platform had taken a counterfeit vendor 5 to court in China.


Story 2:


Beijing-based BAIC Motor has announced plans to launch car-sharing services here in Beijing.


This comes as part of the company's efforts to establish a nationwide platform to provide car-sharing services.


A joint 6 venture involving SAIC Motor has already been operating in Beijing.


Following the rise in popularity of bicycle-sharing services, car-sharing is now also gaining ground in China.


Car-sharing services are now available in dozens of cities across the country, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu.
