He displayed himself similar to a Kardashian. - "Beijing restricts 'China-Kim' in social media platforms"
Based on American reports, Wang Hongquanxing, with millions of followers on his platforms, has been banned by the authorities from several social media sites. Known as "China's Kim Kardashian," Wang announced his lavish lifestyle to the government numerous times.
He would brag about never leaving his house without wearing jewelry and clothing worth over a million dollars. The Chinese regime is not a fan of such arrogance: The "Cyber Administration" in Beijing claims that it's illegal to create ostentatious personalities on social media in China.
This year in April, Beijing declared its strict policy against displaying wealth online. The statement mentioned, "As materialism spreads, it can negatively impact young people. Hence, this trend of opulence on the internet needs to stop." They plan to take action against any actions promoting a wasteful, wealth-based lifestyle.
Wang a.k.a "China Kim" has been removed from popular platforms like Weibo, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu. Details on whether he can make a return remain unknown.
If Wang wants to come back, he'll have to reimagine his online presence. A Chinese expert on internet politics at Leiden University in the Netherlands believes this is a chance to improve morality.
Carwyn Morris spoke to the Financial Times, stating, "It's probable that many find such displays distasteful, particularly during times of financial hardship." When the government censors this, they seem more honest and upright.
In addition to Wang (currently 4.3 million followers on Douyin), other influencers have been silenced as well. An internet celebrity called "Mr. Bo" was banned after consistently showing his dogs in pricey designer bags to his audience of three million followers.
