On January 16, Chinese media reported that Douyin (Chinese TikTok), Xiaohongshu, Weibo accounts of Li Xiang - former MC of Hunan Satellite Television - were suddenly banned from following and banned from posting content.
Li Xiang owns a huge fan base with 4.21 million followers on Douyin; 24.562 million on Weibo and 487,000 on Xiaohongshu.
On Weibo, it is displayed: "This user is prohibited from following due to violating the law and related regulations or violating Weibo's community regulations".
The information immediately caused a social network explosion, causing netizens to constantly speculate about the cause behind it.
According to Sohu, Ly Tuong has long been famous for showing off her luxurious life. There was information that her monthly food expenses amounted to 600,000 CNY (about 2.2 billion VND). She bought her daughter Vuong Thi Linh a luxury car worth tens of millions of yuan. The topic "Ly Tuong pampers Vuong Thi Linh" almost every year is trending on Weibo.
This excessive material display has faced a strong wave of criticism from netizens, being considered "distant from reality of life", easily conveying one-sided values to teenagers.
Even "showing off wealth" can violate the regulations in the "Internet Environmental Cleanup" campaign of the China Cyberspace Administration, regarding rectifying deviated values.
In December 2025, the Cyberspace Administration issued a new regulation, including the act of "propagandating a lifestyle of showing off wealth, worshiping money" in the list of negative behaviors of celebrities online.
Ly Tuong's account being restricted only half a month after the new regulation was announced, has led many people to believe that her actions have reached the "red line" in management.
In July 2025, Li Xiang had her account frozen for violating regulations. At that time, she posted an apology and promised to rectify it, but this incident showed that the improvement results were still not as expected.
In addition, there are predictions that Li Xiang's warning is likely related to tax issues.
Ly Tuong has always built a rich image for many years, but the specific origin of assets is not really clear. In addition to rumors of getting rich thanks to real estate in the early days, later she mainly earned money from livestream sales - a field with very high risks when being taxed.
Moreover, there is currently information in the industry revealing that Ly Tuong's account is locked due to tax issues and there will be no public announcement.
In addition to the above speculations, there are also opinions that Li Xiang may be related to economic crimes. According to data from Qichacha, many companies named after female MCs are currently in a state of registration cancellation, only one company is operating, and it is a private equity investment enterprise. This move is considered quite unusual.
Observing recent updates on Ly Tuong's social network, it can be seen that she has not posted since after the New Year, which is completely different from her previous habit.
In December 2025 alone, Ly Tuong posts almost every day, her schedule is extremely busy. The fact that she has not updated for half a month makes many people doubt whether she knows the situation in advance.
