Taobao hỗ trợ tâm lý cho giới trẻ Trung Quốc

hiện trên Taobao, giới trẻ Trung Quốc có thể trả phí để người lạ sẵn sàng lắng nghe họ tâm sự về vấn đề sức khỏe tâm lý của mình. Tuy nhiên, vẫn chưa rõ quan hệ này kết thúc ở đâu và việc tư vấn bắt đầu ở đâu.

With loneliness (cô đơn) and mental health issues on the rise (tăng lên  ) among young Chinese, more and more people are turning to online chat services due to their affordability (khả năng chi trả) and convenience. The format suits “socially awkward” young Chinese who shy away from in-person (trực tiếp) interactions, as well as those that enjoy the company (đồng hành) of strangers based on common interests, part of the dazi social trend that has heated up in recent months. 

This has led to the explosion of services like Du’s on sites like Taobao, which advertise themselves as offering “companion chats” rather than traditional psychological counseling (tư vấn tâm lý).

Such services offer cheaper prices as well as greater flexibility (tính linh hoạt) than offline counseling, which can run up to 1,500 yuan per session. One of China’s leading online mental health service providers, One Psychology, has rolled out a simple “chat” service, priced at 19.9 yuan for 30 minutes.

While full-fledged service (dịch vụ chính thức) providers like One Psychology have some qualification requirements (yêu cầu bằng cấp) for their counselors (cố vấn), chat service providers on sites like Taobao have far lower barriers (rào cản) to entry for theirs. As most clients only want a “simple chat,” staff members only have to be over 18 years old, chatty, and have a nice voice, said Huang.

Taobao requires vendors offering counseling services to have at least three certified professionals working for them and a relevant business license (giấy phép). Lin Bin, a customer service supervisor (người giám sát) at Taobao, told simple chat services on the platform (nền tảng) cannot claim to provide professional psychological treatment (điều trị).

...Nonetheless, the nascent (mới) online counseling industry still lacks regulatory supervision (giám sát về pháp lý), including the protection of consumer rights (quyền lợi của người tiêu dùng). Online counselor Alice Wang, who requested a pseudonym (bút danh) for privacy reasons, told that her vendor sometimes matches clients with counselors lower than the rank they paid for.
