The operator of a Chinese video-sharing app says it has cracked down on accounts fueling tensions between China and Japan.
The company that runs the platform, Kuaishou, made the announcement on Saturday. This comes three days after a man fatally stabbed a 10-year-old student of a Japanese school in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen.
The firm said it had recently found that a number of users were publishing harmful misinformation and stirring up confrontation between China and Japan.
It said it had dealt with over 90 accounts through measures such as shutting them down or stopping them from posting content and comments.
The firm also called on its users to report suspected cases of rule violations.
Analysts say Kuaishou is seeking to stem the spread of anti-Japan misinformation on social media. Some say such content may have led to the knife attack on Wednesday.
Multiple Internet companies took a similar move after a knife-wielding man targeted the bus of a Japanese school in Suzhou in the eastern province of Jiangsu in June.
A Japanese woman and her child were wounded in the assault, while a female Chinese bus attendant who tried to stop the attack was killed.
