[Pannchoa] Knets react to Fan bingbing escaping China to go to the US (ft. Tang Wei and Gong Li)

[My Everything]

 

Article says that Fan Bingbing was seen in the US with a L1 Visa, which is used as a political asylum Visa. Many media reports have been saying that Fan Bingbing is trying to renounce her Chinese citizenship to exile to the US, though the reason is unclear. Many think that it is due to tax evasion.

 

 

 

Meanwhille, Tang Wei currently is considered a resident of Hong Kong and previously abandoned her Chinese citizenship because of her role in the movie “Lust, Caution†which depicted her as a pro-Japanese. Hence, she ended up being banned from China.

 

 

 

On the other hand, Gong Li is currently considered a Singaporean resident and also gave up her Chinese citizenship. She told the media that this was to facilitate her travel and acting activities overseas.

If I was a Chinese person, I would want to live in the US to, tsk tsk

Just to give you an idea of how bad the communist party is, even if you have dual citizenship and have US citizenship, you will still be treated as a citizen there. Unless you give up on that citizenship, you have to civil rights.

It’s all because of the communist party

 

 

 

4. [+164, -18]

 

It’s difficult to live as a human in a communist country

 

 

 

5. [+95, -10]

 

Even though China is a big country, the reason why they cannot become powerful is because they are a communist country

Why should I care if Chinese actresses separates with their country? I’m busy eating and living…

lmao what is this bs once you acquire citizenship of another country you automatically lose your chinese citizenship...dual citizenship doesn't exist in china LOL

[Nip&Hip]

The second comment is so ironic as if Korean dual citizens don't have to give up Korean citizenship if they don't want to do military service.

also fan bingbing's case is completely different from tang wei and gong li's situations...fan bingbing owes millions of dollars in taxes lmao it's her fault she's in this mess in the first place

[masakio]

I mean, she evaded taxes (and it was a large sum too). That'd land her jail time even in other countries. What'd she expect.

Is it okay if you explain Tang Wei whole situation; did she really get banned for a role?

she wasn't banned because she played a character who was pro-Japanese (did knetz even watch that movie?? lmao) she got banned from the chinese movie industry for a while because she had a lot of nudity in the film and china is super strict on that type of censorship. also, it was easier to ban her than her male costar (tony leung, who is hong kong-based and not from the mainland).

 

the restrictions have been loosened though in recent years; in 2017, she started filming a chinese drama with lay from exo and some other famous chinese actors. 

[Cat_OTO]

OT but Gong Li is so stunning in that top photo. 

[Lexurite]

Y'all delusional if you think she fled from China just because she owed millions in debt. Fan Bing Bing has been the highest earning Chinese celebrity for years, she can afford to pay back what she owes to the Chinese IRS. And she wouldn't have applied for political asylum in the US over this. 

 

There are plenty of celebrities and rich people who evade taxes in China (some who might even owe more than FBB to the IRS) yet they're not getting into this kind of mess (home arrest + 3 years of acting ban). She definitely pissed off a high ranking politician in China. Let's not forget there have been rumors for years about her being well connected with the government which explain her rise to stardom as China's #1 top celebrity. 

 

She's trash for evading taxes but the punishment she's getting and her reaction to it paint a much grimer reality. If it was the norm then more celebs and rich people would get this treatment, not just her. It's just an excuse to end her career or even her life.

Damn so just for the nudity and sex scene in the movie. Whoa, I actually thought it was more than that....

I'm pretty sure that china is a hybrid capitalist communist. They make it sound like china is some hardcore communist country like the flim industry depicts russia in the cold war.

[SiennaMiller]

Fan bingbing is so shady

It is a hybrid system economically yes, but politically it still is a communist system through and through, extremely oppressive with any open dissent, and whenever there's a change at the head of the state, any supports of the previous will fall from their position one way or another (corruption accusations seem to be the current president's favourite way of silencing his opponents). The average Chinese now has more personal freedom than the previous generations had, sure, but it does not extend to politics.

The case for FBB is Tax evasion. You would find it hard to live in South Korea as a celeb too if u evaded tax for many years.

[kimchi-nyoen]

You dont know anything about this issue

China is so powerful already. This knetz is delulu

[Gj gf jfdhsvsb]

To be fair I wouldn’t want to be in a Chinese jail

And yeah Communist =/= Authoritarian... Establishing a social credit system to further the class divide isn’t exactly uniting the workers of the world is it

[RiseLikeACrowTit]

I can see she being in real danger tbh

[reiichi]

Except the South Korean government would start by asking you to pay what you owe them, not outright ban you from working for the next three years.
