China’s new internet crackdown is changing influencer life forever.
Under new rules, creators must have a university degree or professional license to discuss topics like medicine, finance, or education, and can face fines or bans if they don’t comply.
The government also banned “wealth-flaunting” content — meaning no more showing off luxury cars, designer bags, or mansion living. Social media platforms are now required to police influencers, removing anyone who doesn’t meet the new standards.
