A survey of 1,334 Chinese respondents by China Youth Daily finds 77.7% have suffered unknowing hidden app charges, with forgotten auto-renewals and platform default opt-ins being the top causes. 65.2% hope payment apps offer paid service inquiry channels and 61.7% want a unified subscription management entry, 57.4% call for clear laws and 56.7% expect pre-charge alerts. Experts call for joint governance by regulators, platforms and payment channels, and advise consumers to check subscriptions regularly.
