In July 2025, there was a Chinese man in Beijing only known by his last name Liu 
waiting for his delivery. He had ordered a birthday cake for himself using an app called jd.com. The cake was supposed to be this beautifully decorated cream cake with roses on top. 
Of course, Liu assumed that the roses were edible. Then he opened the box and to his surprise, he saw that the roses on his cake were real. 
Liu was not happy because he knew that roses could contain pesticides. So he contacted the merchant and asked for his money back. 
The merchant said no. So [music] Liu filed a complaint, probably expecting a refund or maybe a little fine for the merchant. 
The cake shop named Sweet Words Love Letter was a nationwide chain with 378 locations across China. 
But when investigators showed up at the registered address, nothing. No kitchen, no staff, not even a sign. 
Turns out not a single one of those 378 locations [music] existed anywhere in China. 
The business licenses were all forged. The entire brand was a ghost. 
Over the next 10 months, what started out as a single consumer complaint in Beijing escalated into one of the most dramatic investigations in Chinese regulatory history. We're talking a serious crackdown across every major food delivery platform in China that exposed a dirty industry practice known as ghost delivery at an epic scale.
