You retain ownership of rights you hold in your user content. By submitting content for display, review, editing, or publication, you grant China Cosmetics a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, edit, translate, adapt, format, publish, distribute, display, promote, and archive that content in connection with our editorial and business operations.

News Submission and Editorial Review
News and article contributions must be submitted through our Submit News page. Submissions are saved for editorial review and do not become published automatically.
Submission does not guarantee review within a particular time, acceptance, publication, payment, attribution, or continued availability. We may verify, edit, translate, shorten, categorize, decline, unpublish, or remove material based on accuracy, quality, safety, legal compliance, originality, audience relevance, and editorial fit.
Do not submit confidential information or embargoed material unless we have expressly agreed to receive it under appropriate terms.
Comments, Likes, and Article Reports
Comments must be relevant, lawful, and respectful. We may moderate, remove, close, or retain comments as reasonably necessary.
The like feature is intended to record genuine reader interest. You may not automate likes, manipulate counts, evade duplicate controls, or coordinate deceptive engagement.
The Report an issue feature is intended for good-faith feedback about factual errors, formatting, outdated information, sourcing, attribution, copyright, advertising disclosures, conflicts of interest, or similar concerns. Do not use it to harass others, submit knowingly false claims, overwhelm the service, or conceal unlawful activity. Submission of a report does not guarantee correction, removal, or a particular outcome.
