In recent months, Chinese authorities have made moves to reduce what they have called the country’s “chaotic” celebrity fan culture by ordering broadcasters, and celebrities to help restrict the phenomenon.

In a bid to create “a positive and healthy internet environment”,This move will include the regulation of stars’ personal information, and advertisements on various sites online.– a popular Chinese social media platform – pulled its list of popular celebrities after the state’s media claimed that children are being corrupted by those who capitalise on the entertainment industry.

Although the editorial did not name any specific social media networks, Weibo said its decision to take down the “Star Power Ranking List” was partly due to the “irrational support” some fans were showing for their favourite celebrities.In May,also published an editorial that condemned the “crazy star chasing behaviour that makes people gradually lose their minds”.

An English translation of the editorial read: “In particular, many underage fans are not only incapable of earning money, but also immature in their minds. They often fall into the trap of ‘excess consumption’ and ‘borrowing to chase stars’. “Objectively speaking, out of love, fans are willing to spend their time, money, and energy to build momentum and resources for idols, which is a personal choice. But in the logic of some extreme fans, money equals love, and how much you love idols must be reflected in how much money you spend.”The newspaper said that this area of show business is a “multi-party conspiracy to encircle and suppress fans” carried out by “artists, brands, platforms, brokerage teams, etc”.
