Zheng Shuang, Top Chinese Actress and 'Love O2O' Star, Fined Rs 340 Crores for Tax Evasion

Top Chinese actress Zheng Shuang was hit with a USD 46 million tax evasion fine Friday while references to film star Zhao Wei were wiped from video streaming sites as Beijing steps up its campaign against celebrity culture.

Shanghai tax authorities on Friday fined Zheng 299 million yuan for tax evasion and undeclared income between 2019 and 2020 while filming a TV series, according to an online statement. China’s state broadcasting regulator also pulled Zheng’s offending TV drama and ordered producers not to hire her for future shows.

Her name was suddenly removed from the credits of major TV series, while a forum dedicated to the actress on social media platform Weibo was also mysteriously shut down, as the hashtag “Zhao Wei super-topic closed” gained 850 million views.But Zhao and her husband were banned from trading on the Shanghai Stock Exchange earlier this year, owing to a failed 2016 takeover bid that authorities ruled had “disrupted market order”.
