'China's Kim Kardashian' who once boasted he never leaves the house in an outfit worth less than £1million is BANNED from social media for being 'ostentatious' Chinese influencer banned from social media for showing off lavish life The influencer ban is China's latest attempt to crack down on social media stars By Sabrina Penty Published: 04:36 EDT, 27 May 2024 | Updated: 04:41 EDT, 27 May 2024 e-mail View comments An influencer dubbed ' China 's Kim Kardashian ' for his lavish life-style has been banned from Chinese social media for bragging about his wealth and opulence. Wang Haongquanxing is not the only Chinese social media star who has disappeared from social platforms, as China's government cracks down on 'excessive wealth flaunting' in its latest campaign to maintain its dominance over the country's social media culture. Wang and other influencers, known for posting pictures and videos of their extravagant way of life, were banned by several Chinese social media platforms last week after the Cyberspace Administration of China, the internet regulator, announced an effort against 'creating ostentatious personas,' last month.

Wang, who had around 4.3 million followers on Douyin, China's version of TikTok , has been known to boast about the level of his wealth, with his posts often featuring designer clothing ands accessories and frequent appearances at luxury fashion events. He even said once in an interview that he never goes out unless he is wearing an outfit and jewel.
