PENN OLSON – Aug 17 - Jiayuan was attacked by state media’s People’s Daily for not really being a “wedding” site, as Jiayuan’s tagline suggests, but more like an organizer of over-expensive group date nights that result in lots of inappropriate touching and other malarkey. The People’s Daily recounts the story of one 30-year old man who was annoyed at being – he felt – tricked into buying virtual credits. The newspaper is more concerned with the pricier products that Jiayuan sells, such as its hand-curated match-making service for 40,000 RMB (US$6,300), and maxes out at 200,000 RMB. A lack of a real name policy on Jiayuan is also called out.
