Just to come in as the masters degree in China politics girlie and say a lot of this is getting misconstrued and oversimplified. The ‘kpop ban’ in China was very much a thing due to THAAD back in like 2018 and the ensuing trade war etc etc and since that eased off there’s continuing issues due to strict rules on male gender presentation in media (hair dye, piercings, being ‘too feminine’) which naturally excludes most male idols. In regards to the lisa thing I mean. Yeah. She broke the law and if she shared anything abt it on her Weibo it makes sense she got banned. I’d presume angelababy will be back soon enough (celebs in bigger scandals have come back after like 6 months or less) but honestly who knows. Celebs are held to account for what their fans do and how they act on Weibo; their accounts can therefore be terminated if they aren’t sufficiently ‘controlling’ their fans (i.e if Lisa’s fans were distributing images from Lisa’s show on Weibo even if Lisa wasn’t herself). Idk. hope this helps. Feel like the whole ‘irrational comic book villain’ portrayal of China doesn’t rly help build understanding
