China erases billionaire actress Zhao Wei from history
One of China’s most famous and richest actresses has been completely erased and the Chinese government is thought to be behind it.
Excerpt:
....Communism strikes back
Chinese censors are busy setting things straight.
State-controlled social media has been promoting messages including “raise the threshold to become a celebrity”, “virtue before artistry”, and “the rewards of a moral society”.
Chairman Xi himself restated China’s commitment to Communist values at a Central Committee for Financial Affairs meeting earlier this month. He stressed that “Common prosperity is the prosperity of all the people, not the prosperity of a few people”.
“Common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism and an important feature of Chinese-style modernisation,” he reportedly said. “It is necessary to follow the principles of marketisation and rule of law, and co-ordinate the prevention and resolution of major financial risks.”
It appears Chairman Xi equates independent billionaires with such risk. Especially as growing inequality threatens to undermine his message of eliminating poverty.
But concentrations of wealth are also perceived as threats to the power of the Communist Party, which has imposed strict new regulations on business investment, ownership and control.
...It should be no surprise. Chairman Xi promised to tackle “extreme wealth” when he returned to power for a second term in 2017. But it took until this month’s Central Committee meeting for the formal promise to enforce “reasonable adjustments to excessive income” to be made.
It’s not all about economics. It’s also about power.
