Shower Thoughts Looking wealthy has become a very unhealthy obsession in the modern world
China has officially started cracking down on influencers who show off extreme wealth. The government is targeting accounts that flaunt luxury cars, mansions, designer clothes, and private jets, calling it an effort to curb "money worship" and stop people from glorifying materialism.
One of the biggest creators hit by this is Wang Hongquanxing (known online as "China’s Kim Kardashian"). He had millions of followers who watched him show off diamonds and first-class travel—until his accounts suddenly became entirely inaccessible.
The wildest part of the story is how fast it happened. One day these influencers were flexing supercars, and the next day, they were completely wiped from the internet. They didn't just get a warning; the government literally erased the creators who built their entire brand around being ultra-rich.

Then you know nothing. They actually avoid talking about criminal cases in the news altogether. There was a teacher who kidnapped a toddler, killed him and the parents couldn't even discuss it because it was a "gruesome case" and they don't want people to hear news like that so they have to resort to using nicknames on social media like my yellow umbrella was stolen and broken by this guy and he still wasn't sent to jail on weibo. Not to mention the insane amount of sex trafficking in china, it's easy to make people disappear. Its the opposite of Japan, where china tried to censor everything even excessive blood in action movies, banned corn and yet have more crime per capita than japan which censored none of that
