Monthly registration of live-streaming has been hitting a record high since 2019, when annual registrations reached 5,684, which is 17 times higher from a decade ago, according to data released by Qcc.com.
Executives of retail firms have been live streaming to reach younger consumers in China amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Livestreaming has also helped China's poverty-stricken people find more ways to earn.

Livestreaming covers a multitude of enterprises, such as online games, entertainment, and e-commerce.
