China Bans Influencers for Flaunting Wealth Online

Chinese social media influencer Wang Hongquanxing, dubbed "China's Kim Kardashian," has been banned from major platforms like Weibo, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu for flaunting his wealth. The Chinese government's cyberspace administration ruled against creating ostentatious personas, especially during economic downturns, to prevent the spread of materialism among teenagers. Other influencers, including "Sister Abalone" and "Mr. Bo," have also faced similar bans for showcasing their lavish lifestyles.
