Yeah this sounds less like "stop selling lingerie" and more "stop producing pornography". It's illegal there, yeah?
Is "shopping livestream" a euphemism like all those porny "ASMR" videos on youtube?
Idk, this just popped out as an obvious possible reason for this. Western media will go wild with this shit, like how China banned femboys when the government said influencers couldn't show off their wealth so much.
I mean whatever it is, you can still find women in lingerie all over on taobao, pinduoduo so
Also Mothership is a tabloid, though to me and probably many others here, that doesn't mean much when NYTimes and Reuters also post tabloid quality articles all the time
yeah if it is true it doesnt seem to be implemented yet at all because there is a lot of lingerie on all the sites i see
edit: i saw a post on baidu claiming that they outlawed sharing nonconsensual photographs of women in lingerie, which can effect storefronts because they photoshop a lot of models to have lingerie on them. if this interpretation is correct, it is very good for the models
I remember it making the rounds that women posting promiscuous pics would get them in trouble with the government.

Tbf "in trouble with the government" is basically just a blanket term for any consequence occuring online in China, from what I can tell.
