- The Downfall of China's Luxury Influencers | Vantage with Palki Sharma
In the ever-evolving landscape of social media, where influencers craft their personas and cultivate followings by showcasing their lifestyles, few stories are as compelling and cautionary as that of Wang Hongquanxing. Known to his millions of followers as "China’s Kim Kardashian," Wang's meteoric rise to fame was fuelled by his unabashed displays of wealth and luxury. Wang's infamous claim that he never left his home without wearing at least $1.4 million worth of jewellery and clothing became emblematic of his persona. While such statements endeared him to some of his followers, they also attracted the ire of the authorities. He has now been kicked off the country’s most popular online platforms because internet censorship authorities disapproved of his posts showing off his luxury clothes and high-end jewellery. Why is China cracking down on luxury influencers? Our next report tells you.

The whole world needs this. Please these influencers having young people thinking they need to be millionaires by 21.
Becoming successful by early 20's is not bad but flaunting luxurious items on social media is...
This is bullshit. This is an attack on personal privacy. How can Showing off wealth that a person earned ?? That's his bloody choice what to show and not to show if it is appropriate.
What is India is controlling u not to post... Or not to post comments and only comment that feels appropriate for the government?? How does that feel
No we do not need it. Let people be free to do what they want with their money. There is serious issues out there. We can not be worried about people showing off
I'd watch it if I were you. You say that, but it's a slippery slope, before they crack down on people such as yourself.
I'm not one for showing off my possessions, however living in a totalitarian hellscape government is not fun. And having to have to be unpersoned for showing off your stuff is real screwed up.

China's influencers are 10 times more to xic than averages
Why
So you see displaying wealth as a bad thing or being wealthy? I'm wondering if using money to subvert other countries' economies worse behavior. Flaunting wealth shows you who your potential enemies are. China prefers sneaky wealth with agendas that are hidden and malevolent. Let's go with that instead of mindless peacocks showing off. Right? Keep agreeing with China, then.
Palki Sharma and First Post is bought by the West. She promotes Hollywood and Western woke culture
I'm with China here, influencers pushing kids on the speed lane
Social media's portrayal of wealth is leading to FOMO and anxiety in teens.
Yupp.. there is more to life
I get it .... But this is 100% an attack on free speech & freedom of expression. Do you understand the precedent. 'Do not show off' : what does that mean ? Where do you draw the line ?.... So now if someone wants to post their moments of vacation they have to think twice because it will be considered a banable offence and even worse a crime?
China simply want their country people to be poor and not get influenced by anyone and when you are poor it's easy to control 😂this China
@saptarshidas2155 it's just a beginning. Gradually, all parameters would be defined
@@MuhammadIrshad1 I don't want it to be defined... You are literally telling in a way ' Do not make people feel bad with your achievements '
So I am going to have to re think twice if I want to post about my vacation or my new car which I earned with my hardwork.... Because the people who are less fortunate will " feel bad"?
When society faced economic difficulties, you must not allow celebrities to flaunt excessive wealth .
Social harmony is important.
In USA , the rich are richer and flaunt their wealth.
The poor lived homeless.
Not really, the actual rich usually do not flaunt their wealth. Those who *want to portray themselves as rich* are the ones who flaunt what they do not have as they are often in debt and have not paid off for the items they are showing off. Even if they are actually so, what's it to you? Do you have food to eat and clothes to wear?
"Godliness with contentment is great gain."
just like the lie that china is, just because you don't show it, doesnt mean they don't have it. Homeless are still homeless.
Chinese knobness.

Greed is a human disease not a western one.
That's not Western influenced.....A lot of the Countries have been this way. The problem is the oversaturation of toxic platforms in Social Media..And China is trying to silence free speech. A lot of people have seen this coming. In every generation all teens are influenced by wealth and fashion...

This is one move by the PRC that I approve !
The description and implementation of China's moral culture to the influencers is the right steps taken by the government. Bad manners and evil behaviours should not be promoted nor protected. Cultural and customs values of societies should be protected by the government. In this crackdown, i support Chinese government for taking the lead.
The Chinese authorities are absolutely right to clamp down on those toxic influencers, the scourge of social media.
We should learn from china

China is doing a good job.
This is also needed in India.
When this really starts happening in India(a country of 3.7/ 4 trillion) you will understand the consequences. India is surviving because of the services industry and it requires people to spend. China is dependent on manufacturing, which requires foreigners to buy their cheap goods. China can bear with it(shortly tho). India cannot (not until the next 50 years)

Not possible. West culture would be ruined with this law.

Should do this in India also...economic disparity in india
LV bag is basically a note on someone's back, "I am richer than you and I have better status than you." That is all it offers. There is no design and there is no worthy function. Just a glorified note on someone's back.
Agreed ..and it's not even practical for daily use either. And the designs are laughable 😂😂😂😂😂 .. a Uniqlo bag is more practical than these "luxury".
those bags are fucking ugly.
"Wealth and wisdom is to be put into good use, not to be bragged about"
The influencers didn't listen like every others, they are addicted to the attention, likes and followers endorsing their behavior and boosting their ego and self esteem
India has Google, MS and FB are enough to poison younger generations.A good example is 90 % youths from Hong Kong were poisoned by these craps.

i love that disciplinary measure! All governments have social responsibilities to take down those over-the-top attitude all across social and mainstream media! Government must show/impose regulations and remind people to be socially aware and considerate specially when it comes to showing off grandioseness while others are dying from poverty and destitution! Instead, government must encourage simplicity and how to help out others...

As an African I totally agree that showing off should be banned.
I do not consider it censorship but leading the people into fruitful paths . Ostentatious consumption is not one of them. It sets wrong individual and social goals.
It is censorship they are blocking people to watch rich people extravaganza for political reasons, to not make people anger on disparities, but this is in the name of the morals, that is what censorship excuse is, to protect the public.
i agree this and hope will be done in my country too
May be India shud try tht too. There are too many wealth-fluencers not only normalizing "Lalaz", but changing the worldview of a whole generation, where everything is centered around money and enjoyment.

@@Joebiiden A person, who earned billion on his own usually has no time to "show off". They may show off their work and achievement. Cos, almost all their waking hour is spend for those, not time for show off. The entire show off business always comes from people who didn't earn them from honest hard work. Baap ke paisa or Chori ke paisa or they are show off professional.
Not that do paisa ka chutya like you will get it. U r upset cos, it affects people like you - who doesn't have any proper skill and lives off these kind of show off market.
And what is wrong with it
they deserve praise this time
The ccp does not want poor and middle class to criticise them. They don't want people to find out how rich some people are. It's a power move.
They are Right
China has come from far. From the ravages of poverty to an economic powerhouse. I believe this move is meant to teach people to always be humble and grateful.
How show off wealth is not great full
I agree
I totally agree 💯 with you
Every country has its censorship rules so what is the problem
What's the point of economic growth if you can't enjoy it in a way that you like which does not force harm on anyone. I too find this content a bad influence but you can have age restrictions on it...why ban it altogether....
LV bags are made in China with $20 material costs. $1 labor cost. $10 marketing cost. And selling for $1000. It is the biggest BS in the world.
🤮
You're wise. And you've given me an idea now
I don't think you can make it with $1 labor cost in China, but agree with your point.
@hanfucolorful9656
OK, let's peg d total as $100 or even at $200 n yet the profit margin is still immensely high.
If you think $1000 can buy youself a LV bag you're very much mistaken.
this is the first I will agree on China.. bravo!!!
China isn't joking around. It's cracking down hard.
So Palki, in your opinion, this is a good thing or bad thing?🤣🤣
Good initiative. Many of so called influencers are themselves broke in reality and flexes so called luxury via renting. Watching those contents of Intentional showing off of wealth and expensive things is creating a huge pandemic of insucurity complex and craving for unnecessary compulsive shopping among people. More and more people are driving towards buying things out of their budget even if it means taking hefty loans or initiate impractical EMI. Many of them end up having no or very low savings at bank account and are in no position to repay the installments laterwards. Result- Survery shows that most of late 90s Born millennials and Gen Z are the generation suffering with financial crisis and least savings for housing . An old college friend of mine don't have a steady job , he hardly makes 8-10K (INR) from freelancing, and then i saw him using brand new Iphone he bought on EMI 🥴
Don’t most people agree that it’s wrong to brag and display excess and opulent wealth, especially if it preys on the deadly sins of pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth?
As a British I agree with China for once!😊
This is needed.
To some extent I like what CCP does. If parents are unable then govt comes forward to preserve cultural values. In the name of free speech people are literally using social media in the wrong way these days. I have seen kids in my city below 18 yrs of age going to bars and pubs and having rave parties and posting them online. Those who are poor feel ashamed. They then steal money to replicate same. Social media is dangerous if not used properly. Only best thing to watch in social media are knowledgeble videos where you get to learn something. Posting half naked photos just for sake of few likes has become a trend. Girls posting photos of their legs and butts to impress guys. Guys posting bike stunts endangering others life to impress girls. And now AI is here. It will ruin this generation of lazy kids.
Yeah. China goes too far often but they make many right moves. They're blocking America's export of liberalism and vanity really well. It's why their civilization is so enduring, they don't let foreigner ideology take over the country. Look at Christianity for Japan and South Korea. They've taken over. Whereas China is the true East Asian powerhouse. That said China has a loooot of Christians now. Nothing wrong with it per say, but it's not like Christians run China now so I guess I can tolerate it. My parents are Christian Americans...
