Chinese heroine fined Rs 340 crore for tax evasion

New Delhi: Famous Chinese actress Zheng Shuang has been fined Rs 340 crore (4. 46 million) for tax evasion and non-disclosure of income in 2016 and 2017. The move comes in the form of a movement launched by Beijing against celebrity culture.

This Beijing is currently active in controlling fan culture and celebrity culture. Following the recent spate of scandals in the Chinese entertainment industry, the Chinese government has woken up successfully and started cracking down on the entertainment industry. As part of that he has called for a tawai on celebrity culture.

China's biggest singer Chris Woo was arrested last month on rape charges. While another film star Zhao Wei has faced censorship in his shows running on leading video streaming sites.

Zheng, 30, has become a household name in China since starring in the 2009 remake of the Taiwanese drama Meteor Shower. Since then he has also acted in successful series and films like Love 30. China's government regulator has asked Zheng to be removed from the TV drama and not to take producers into future shows.
