High subscription refund rate in China?

Hello,

my indie app has somewhat significant traction in China (both downloads and subscription purchases), but I also have high refund rate there, like multiples of other countries... Perhaps even as 80 % or more of my refunds are in China although the share of downloads and purchases is way lower.

I am curious if someone else also has this issue?

My app has the "Blinkist trial" onboarding which shows the timeline and has notification on day 5 (for weekly trial), that paid subscription starts soon. However even after stopping showing this onboarding in China for new users I still have most of my refunds from China.

I am trying to understand whether this may be broader "phenomenon" or maybe something super specific to my app. As far as I know Apple doesn't share the refund request reasons with developers and I did not get any support emails that would hint at why people are asking for refund.

Thanks!

Since Apple can terminate your developer account if you have "high" refund rate, I would like to get to the bottom of this.
