Chinese platforms shut down super-wealthy social media influencers in move against ‘bad behaviour’ content

China’s very powerful social media celebrities have been subject to a wave of suspensions after many influencers recently found their accounts barred for promoting their lavish lifestyles online. &nbsp,

One of the influential people whose Taiwanese social media accounts were suspended was “wanghongquanxing,” a business owned by Mr. Wang Hongquan, who is from Hebei Province and frequently posts his jewelry collection in his movies. &nbsp,

According to China Daily, others were “baoyu jiajie” or Sister Abalone- a powerful heiress from Guangdong Province, and” Bo Gongzi” or Master Bo, an influence with a propensity for the Hermes custom company. &nbsp,

The shift is part of the platforms ‘ wider assault on “negative worth- oriented” content, a phrase used by social media platforms, watchdogs and news sites to often describe “bad behaviour” quite as cyber- bullying and misinformation.

According to Global Times, state media on May 15 reported that some Chinese social media platforms had made announcements to stop publishing negative information that boasts success and promotes consumerism. &nbsp,

CNA’s investigation on Friday ( May 24 ) revealed that Mr. Wang’s account on the microblogging platform Weibo has been suspended. A search for Sister Abalone’s accounts on Weibo even turned up clear. &nbsp,

On the short-video program Douyin, Mr. Wang reportedly had more than 4 million fans. &nbsp,

His posts generally featured developer handbags, spectacular jewellery collections, as well as regular appearances at extravagance brand events. &nbsp,

Dubbed” China’s Kim Kardashian”, South China Morning Post reported that he owns seven qualities in a substantial- close Beijing personal element. &nbsp,

But, Mr Wang appears even to have a separate account on YouTube under the account” xiaolaodao” or &nbsp,” Little Nagging” which is still in activity. &nbsp,

In a video he showed off in an interview with Phoenix TV in December of that year, Mr. Wang showed off a large jewelry box with all the attractive accessories he “wore lately, all kept inside.” &nbsp,

When asked how many jewelry he kept at his Beijing residence, Mr. Wang unflinchingly responded,” The people I’ve worn lengthy are all kept ( in this field ). As for how many pieces I own, I do n’t know, I’ve never checked” .&nbsp,
