"Severity for Those Who Resist!"

China: Two-Month Crack-Down Launched Against Group Livestreaming Misconduct! (4.7.2026)

Some livestreams post coded come-ons like “punishments available” or “unlock perks” to encourage viewers to tip designated hosts in exchange for prohibited or inappropriate performances, while others recruit minors who are not legally eligible to join their shows.

The CAC also noted that some multi-channel network (MCN) agencies behind many of these productions lack proper internal controls. According to the regulator, some agencies use company-controlled accounts to send gifts and spam the chat with fake comments to tip themselves and even pose as the “top supporter” to fabricate an atmosphere of lavish spending.

Remember, misogyny is also completely illegal in Socialist China and Chinese Muslims live very good and productive lives – although this fictional video (now “banned”) is obviously supposed to look as if it is outside of China. I suspect the two were on holiday somewhere and wanted to make some easy money – but instead – once the Chinese Revolutionary Police found out where the couple lived – the hinges flew-off their front-door early in the morning – probably after a “loud” (but equally “short”) knock! China has modified so quickly under the CPC that its people are still learning to come to terms with modernity, technology, and wealth. This is no excuse for bad behaviour, however, and I think these two will be punished, but only in a moderate manner (indeed, they were “fined”). Being ignorant and disrespectful of others (particularly those stuck in lesser socio-economic conditions) is only counted as “freedom” in the capitalist West.
