Chinese actress Jiang Mengjie has received acclaim from her fans for speaking out about being a victim of upskirting, reported the BBC. 'Upskirting' refers to non-consensual photographing or filming under a person's clothing using a device such as a camera phone. While addressing her millions of followers on the Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, Jiang revealed that the incident occurred many years ago. Mengjie said it was her staff members who discovered comments about the video online, and a friend then shared the video with her. The video, she said, left her feeling "angry and disgusted, along with a feeling of powerlessness". Jiang shared that some web users informed her that the video had been posted to several groups, and the number of views had exceeded one million.

She also said that she has received threatening messages from&nbsp;blackmailers who say they would send the video to major film and TV companies and brands, "and ruin the rest of my life. As a public figure, maybe I can make more people pay attention to such vicious incidents by taking a stand. It is not our fault that we have been secretly photographed. Our lives should not be affected by this kind of thing."

Mengjie's courage to share her story online has earned her recognition far and wide on Weibo. Her post had over 600,000 likes at the time of writing. Her fans have praised her for speaking out and criticised her blackmailers' "perverted" and "arrogant" behavior. A user's comment, "Why does he think he can ruin someone for the rest of her life? He should be ashamed," has received over 25,000 likes.

The issue of upskirting and voyeurism is a huge concern among women in China. The absence of proper law has led to a lack of consequences for those who engage in such acts, which perpetuates the issue further.&nbsp;

Chinese actress Jiang Mengjie reveals being a victim of 'upskirting', praised for speaking out

In a government crackdown on “celebrity culture”, Chinese actress Zhao Wei is on their hit list as her name has been erased from several Chinese video platforms by Beijing.&nbsp;

An award-winning Chinese actor and filmmaker, Zhao Wei who is also popularly known as Vicky had a multi pronged attack recently and subsequent disappearance from the public eye.&nbsp;

Her films and TV shows or mention of her appearance in many shows have been erased. Her name from online casting lists have been dropped too. Her fan page on the heavily censored Chinese social networking site Weibo has been taken down, CNN reports, while SCMP reports that a hashtag allowing fans to share information about her was also censored.

The Chinese actress first found fame in the late 1990s with the TV show ‘My Fair Princess’, in which she played the lead. She then became a successful businesswoman along with performances in hit shows and films. The audience in the West usually remember her from the action film ‘Shaolin Soccer’.&nbsp;

There is no clarity on why this happened but it follows a pattern of what other Chinese celebrities have faced in their home country. China’s top internet watchdog said earlier that it would take action against the dissemination of “harmful information” in celebrity fan groups and close discussion channels that spread celebrity scandals or "provoke trouble".

Late last year, billionaire <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/chinese-billionaire-jack-ma-goes-missing-after-controversial-speech-354337">Jack Ma</a>, also disappeared from public life for three months after the Chinese government prevented him from taking his Ant Group public, following his criticism of the state bureaucracy.&nbsp;

The crackdown on celebrity fan culture also comes amid a wider regulatory campaign against the country's Internet giants.&nbsp;

One of China's biggest actor Zhao Wei becomes latest victim of government crackdown

Top Chinese actress <a href="http://13.235.153.162/entertainment/lifestyle/news-prada-cuts-ties-with-chinese-actress-zheng-shuang-after-surrogacy-controversy-357955">Zheng Shuang</a> was hit with a $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.

Beijing is on a mission to rein in what it calls "chaotic fan culture" and celebrity excess, after a spate of scandals in recent months that have taken down China's biggest entertainers including singer Kris Wu, who was arrested on suspicion of rape earlier this month.

Shanghai tax authorities on Friday fined Zheng 299 million yuan ($46.1 million) for tax evasion and undeclared income between 2019 and 2020 while filming a TV series, according to an online statement.

Zheng, 30, became a household name in China after starring in the hit 2009 remake of Taiwanese drama 'Meteor Shower', and a string of successful series and movies afterwards.

China's state broadcasting regulator also pulled Zheng's offending TV drama and ordered producers not to hire her for future shows.

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television added it had "zero tolerance" for tax evasion, "sky-high pay" and "yin-yang contracts", referring to the shady contracts commonly used in Chinese showbiz to obscure actors' real pay.&nbsp;

State media has gone into overdrive urging changes to China's entertainment culture.

"For some time now, artists' moral failures and legal violations, the cultivation of younger idols, and 'chaotic' fandoms have attracted widespread attention in society," state broadcaster CCTV said Tuesday.

"We must restore a clean and upright literary and artistic environment to the public."

On Thursday evening, search results for Zhao, an enormously popular actress also known as Vicky Zhao, were censored from major Chinese video streaming sites.

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.

No official reason was given.

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".

China's cyber regulator released new regulations Friday that ban celebrity ranking lists and tighten control over "chaotic" celebrity fan clubs and management agencies.

Video streaming site iQiyi said it halted all idol talent programmes Thursday, while a Chinese boy band made up of primary school children disbanded earlier this week after performers' ages sparked a public backlash.

Chinese actress Zheng Shuang hit with $46 million tax fine as China targets celebrity culture

This is probably the first time that any Disney film has received so much support from Chinese state media as hashtag #BoycottMulan trended throughout the day on Twitter.&nbsp;

Hundreds of people started posting for their friends to boycott the film after the movie’s lead actress, Liu Yifei, a Chinese-born actress took a controversial stand on the ongoing Hong Kong protests that have been all over the media for some weeks now. Liu got herself into the Hong Kong controversy as she pledged support for the Hong Kong police who anti-government demonstrators accuse of using excessive force to quell unrest.

She posted on Weibo, "I support the Hong Kong police. You can all attack me now. What a shame for Hong Kong.”

Soon after the post went viral, people started #BoycottMulan. Hours later, it trended in Hong Kong and the United States. The platform is banned in China.&nbsp;

Twitter users accused the actress of supporting police brutality and noted that she's an American citizen. "Liu is a naturalized American citizen. It must be nice. Meanwhile, she pisses on people fighting for democracy," one person tweeted.

It was, however, a different story in China as the state media has offered her support. China's state-run tabloid Global Times published a report against the boycott, accusing those who tweeted in support of it of "launching cyber violence against people who supports China." It is also on Twitter, being one of several state-run outlets maintaining a major presence. It called boycotters of the film on twitter as "ideological paranoids" and included its own hashtag #SupportMulan.
