China Cracks Down on Entertainers with "Incorrect Political Positions"

[Milchshake]

Authoritarians are just doubling down this week.

China expanded a crackdown on its entertainment industry on Thursday, telling broadcasters to bar artists with "incorrect political positions" and effeminate styles from shows, and said a "patriotic atmosphere" needed to be cultivated.
The National Radio and Television Administration said in an online notice that it will strengthen regulation over cultural programs, cracking down on what it deems unhealthy content as well as stars' salaries and tax evasion.
Chinese regulators have been tightening their oversight over a broad swathe of industries ranging from technology to education to strengthen control over society and key sectors of the economy after years of runaway growth. On Monday, they introduced new rules limiting the amount of time children can spend on video games.
The entertainment industry entered their crosshairs after a series of celebrity scandals involving tax evasion and sexual assault. Last week, China's internet regulator said it was taking action against what it described as a "chaotic" celebrity fan culture.
In the notice, the NRTA said regulations capping pay for actors and guests should be strictly enforced and they should be encouraged to participate in public welfare programs as well as to assume social responsibilities. Tax evasion would be strictly punished.

Kinda a shame, I was really into Qing Dynasty soap operas. They have some great aesthetics.


The notice also said that what it called "deformed" tastes such as "effeminate" aesthetics in programs should be ended. Entertainment involving "vulgar" internet celebrities, scandals and flaunting of wealth should be rejected.
Unhealthy fan culture should be cracked down on, and voting segments of programs strictly controlled, with encouragements for fans to spend money to vote strictly forbidden, the notice said.
China has stringent rules on content ranging from video games to movies to music, and censors anything it believes violates core socialist values.

Personally, I feel like the West could learn a few things from China.

What, like authoritarian governments engaging in heavy-handed social engineering and extensive spying on every aspects of citizens lives?

What China does is China's business. Not our place to tell them what to do or how to do it.

You willing to turn yourself into the government now for insulting wherever you’re from? That’s what China would do. So get to it. Turn yourself in. I await your prison sentence in a re-education camp.

PS: Don't bother trying to provoke a reaction or further discussion on the subject, as having different ideas is considered trolling on these forums.

As an arm chair insurrectionist if you were in China your posts would be well beyond enough to jail you for decades. What an interesting hot take and totally straight faced and not at all disingenuous.

Self-professed anarchists and libertarians aren't known for intelligent or honest discussions.

I kinda want to know what those posters hope to achieve with those comments. Like yeah everybody knows that we cant dictate what China allows in its media, that is obvious.

Do you have anything to say on the subject? Do you agree with it, disagree with it?Any piece of information that we might be missing.

Their type of comments come of as wasteful

You mean like how you pretended for years to totally not be a Trump supporter, even though you were the entire time?

The irony is getting a bit too deep in here.

Then again, the Central Committee went up against K-Pop ... and lost.



K-Pop - 2

The K-Pop stans have become too powerful...soon they shall rule the world.

[Machismo]

Why is every single thread for you about whether or not someone posting in it was a Trump supporter?

He was speaking of disingenuous posting, and I simply opted to point out the irony.

As for supporting authoritarianism... you seem to have that covered.

Fuck the Chinese Government.

Then why the hell did you make this comment in the first place, if you think it's considered trolling?

When you are inevitably not infracted for this comment, are you going to admit that having different ideas is not considered trolling, then?

The Untamed just puts the Witcher to shame. Only a crazy person would want to censor it.

Pretty sure he’d disapprove of a lot if not all of that.

If you weren't you, I'd make an effort and compile a long list of videos of Tucker Carlson jerking off to how "manly" China/Russia are and how "soy" the US is for not being homophobic and macho enough. Or how China is actually right for putting its Muslim population in concentration camps, or how China is doing the right thing by legally micromanging even the game time of it's citizens etc.

GTFO. Tucker gets a raging boner for everything authoritarian out there, that's why he went to Hungary like a few weeks ago to give a blowjob to Orban on Fox. I'm pretty sure he even swallowed.

He keeps saying "China/Russia" etc bad, but then jerks off to every single fucking authoritarian shit they do.

When the Chinese government does something virtuous - it doesn't happen much - well we're willing to say so...

Can they stop the youth from worshipping celebrities? Probably not, but at least they're worried about it, and that's a start...

What's interesting is when was the last time you heard one of our political leaders even mention video games or housing market speculation or celebrity worship as a problem?...

Maybe our government can take just a moment from bossing us around to improve our actual lives for once in a while

Unsurprisingly, he's quite into this.

I wonder whether US govt learned from China to spy on its own citizens.

This is mostly Xi cracking down on anything that might challenge the Cult of Xi.
