China expanded a crackdown on its entertainment industry on Thursday, telling broadcasters to bar artists with 'incorrect political positions' and effeminate styles from shows, and said a 'patriotic atmosphere' needed to be cultivated.
The NRTA said regulations capping pay for actors and guests should be strictly enforcedand they should be encouraged to participate in public welfare programmes as well as to assume social responsibilities, said the notice. Tax evasion would be strictly punished.
The notice also said that what it called "deformed" tastes such as "effeminate" aesthetics in programmes should be ended. Entertainment involving "vulgar" internet celebrities, scandals and flaunting of wealth should be rejected. China has stringent rules on content ranging from video games to movies to music, and censors anything it believes violates core socialist values.
