Chinese sellers manipulating PRoduct Reviews

I have noticed something pretty weird going on with Amazon. The overflow of Chinese sellers manipulating Reviews. I have noticed a few products that were launched in the category I sell on and overnight it had over 50 5 star reviews. The following days I noticed that the seller of this product started dropping negative reviews on all the other listings that sold the same product. I reported this to Amazon but nothing has happened. I wanted to dig a bit deeper so I went to facebook review groups and saw that Most of the Chinese Sellers are using these groups to manipulate the reviews. I even saw a post on the group which was " Buy This product and Leaves a Negative Review, Refund via PP".
Is there a way to stop these sellers from doing this? I have been selling for 3 years and it has been great until the recent increase in Asian Sellers. They are not all bad, Some of them actually make good competitors and its fun challenging them when they play fair. Because we can all play dirty if we wanted to but its immoral too.
Any thoughts on stopping this and does anyone agree? Maybe if we all submit complaints and report Sellers Amazon Will Listen and Eliminate this way of selling.

I agree. I watched some video where they did a walkthrough on their (forgot what they’re called) something farming, maybe “review farm”.
It’s a place with hundreds of phones and tablets and they say they have thousands more in another location. And they hire people that all day long upvote reviews, leave good reviews for the clients and bad reviews for client competition.

Not sure what to suggest. Report to Amazon though I doubt it will work quick enough.
I heard they suspended a bunch of sellers for this but don’t know for sure

Amazon is built on low prices, which is the core interests of Amazon.

Who can offer lower prices? Chinese.
What must Amazon give in return? Fraudulent sellers, fake reviews, intellectual property infringements, to sacrifice small US local sellers and so on.

Not Amazon, the US is the same. Just like Egypt corrupted Rome, Red China is corrupting free world. How can free world compete with a slave society?

Trump is trying to tax China, I hope he does not just talk about it.

In China, giving bad online review and extortion for money is a line of business for 10+ years.

Happening to me. This is absurd how Chinese sellers are manipulating amazon and its customers. There product could initially be at a 2 star rating and they jump it up to a 4.7 star rating by getting inauthentic reviews. This is causing major issues. Amazon must do something about this!
