49-year-old Chinese host Li Xiang often attends high-society and fashion events with her daughter Angela (Wang Shiling), and her frequent displays of wealth have often sparked controversy. As a live-streaming sales pioneer in China, she has 24.56 million, 4.21 million, and 480,000 followers on Weibo, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu, respectively, and enjoys immense influence across all social media platforms. Unexpectedly, yesterday (the 16th), all her accounts were suddenly banned from being followed. Although the details of her violation have yet to be disclosed, some netizens speculated three possible reasons, one of which is that she loves flaunting her wealth.
Li Xiang’s social media accounts were all suddenly banned from being followed yesterday, rapidly sparking intense discussion across platforms. Although the specific reason hasn’t been made public, many people have begun wildly guessing the cause. Some pointed out that this kind of simultaneous cross-platform action is rare, leading to speculation that regulatory intervention may be involved and listing three possible reasons. The first is Li Xiang’s repeated displays of wealth, speculated to have potentially run afoul of China’s recent crackdown on such incidents, specifically 2025’s “Clean and Bright Campaign.”
In addition, some suspect it could be a matter related to taxes. Reportedly, Li Xiang holds multiple businesses under her name, but 14 of them have already been deregistered, fueling outside speculation about financial or tax issues, and suggesting she may have transferred funds overseas. Another guess is an incident involving invasion of privacy, though her daughter Wang Shiling, who she had with ex-husband Wang Yuelun, has not been affected. Regarding Li Xiang’s account bans, after inquiries from Chinese media outlet Jimu News, Xiaohongshu stated that it would verify the situation, Douyin said it could not check, and Weibo said: “This user is banned from being followed due to violation of laws, regulations, or the Weibo Community Guidelines,” but did not specify the exact reason.
