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.
