China prohibits high-end influencers from social media platforms.
Recently in China, they've been taking action against influencers who show off their wealth excessively. One of these influencers, Wang Hongquan, known for flaunting his luxurious lifestyle, has been banned from Douyin. You won't find videos of him wearing designer clothes, traveling in first-class, or showing off valuable jade jewelry anymore. Instead, you'll see a notice saying he broke Douyin's guidelines.
Last month, Chinese authorities announced a campaign against objectionable content on the internet. They plan to focus on influencers who "gratify primitive desires" with their flashy behavior and openly display a life filled with money.
Apparently, influencer "Sister Abalone," who loved sharing her well-furnished villa and constantly wore diamond and pearl jewelry in her videos, has also been censored. Her videos are no longer accessible on Bilibili. Similarly, "Young Master Bo," who would post himself driving test cars in a Rolls Royce or surrounded by Hermès bags, seems to have been banned on Douyin as well. You'll only find a note saying he broke "relevant laws and regulations."
Chinese authorities dislike the "worship of money" and "overly explicit" content in online networks.
