China's top internet watchdog says it will bar platforms from publishing lists that rank celebrities and will also regulate the lucrative industry of fan merchandise sales.
The country'sit will bar platforms from publishing lists that rank celebrities and will also regulate the lucrative industry of fan merchandise sales.
But they have also been criticized for their influence over minors and for deviating from the Communist Party’s desired social order. Chinese-Canadian pop star Kris Wu, seen here on a magazine cover, saw fan groups leap to his defence after he was detained on suspicion of sexual assault.“This policy is an attempt to regulate the pop culture market rather than the culture itself,” said Jin Vivian Zhan, Associate Professor of Politics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Platforms will no longer be able to publish lists of popular celebrity individuals and fan groups must be regulated, the watchdog said. Celebrities in China have access to an unrivaled base of fans, but are also no strangers to public backlash or government scrutiny.
