The total number of clicks on the relevant content has reached 80 million. Currently, the public security authorities have taken criminal coercive measures against the suspects in accordance with the law. Nio will continue to follow up on the progress of the case and file civil lawsuits against the relevant personnel to recover the company's economic losses.

The first-instance court has ruled that the owners of the above accounts have all committed infringement, and ordered them to compensate Nio for their losses and publicly apologize.
