Rumours are swirling online that the next star to be blacklisted by the Chinese authorities is martial arts actor Jet Li.
A list of seven names has been circulating online in the wake of actress Vicki Zhao's scandal. Last week, all mentions of the top actress, 45, was scrubbed from the Internet.
Chinese director Zhou Guogang, who had in the past posted celebrity gossip on his Douyin account, jumped in with speculation that Li, 58, will be cancelled soon.
He called out stars such as actor Huang Xiaoming and actress Li Bingbing, who had deleted their pictures with Zhao from their Weibo accounts and sounded a warning to Li earlier this week.
"Quickly flee. Next month, the house may just collapse on you," he said.
The unverified list allegedly from China's National Radio and Television Administration claimed that there will be new restrictions on celebrities who hold foreign citizenship.
Besides Li, who holds Singapore citizenship, others on the list include actress Liu Yifei (American), actors Nicholas Tse (Canadian), Zhang Tielin (British) and Mark Chao (Canadian), and singers Will Pan (American) and Wang Leehom (American).
Zhao, who is a Singapore permanent resident, owns a vineyard in Bordeaux with her billionaire husband, Huang Youlong, and is rumoured to have fled there.
Netizens have speculated that the power couple's business association with beleaguered tech tycoon Jack Ma could be a reason for her being blacklisted.
She posted three mundane photos on Instagram on Sunday (Aug 29), with a caption which seemed to imply that she was in Beijing, but swiftly deleted them.
Later, she changed her bio to just say three words in Chinese: "Ha ha ha."
Bruce Lee always said he is an American. Would they blacklist him if he was still around?

In China
And Hollyweird stays silent.
Man, all of the signs are there that China is preparing to stomp on the world. If they treat their own people like that, what will they do to YOU? Man oh man...and the media is silent. The world is about to explode.
I watched a clip of a Chinese official saying, in essence, “Entertainment is too entertaining. We must cut it back so as not to over excite the people. Entertainment should celebrate socialism and the CCP.” Oh, man, I’ll bet that show sells out in minutes! (If I recall the clip was on a “China In Focus” news segment.)
Jackie Chan, the CCP puppet, will be silent on this one...
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco.
Will Kissing warn us if his owners are going to attack?
Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco.
True, though only because his father was on tour in the US with the Cantonese opera. Bruce returned to Hong Kong at 3 months and became a very popular child actor and later martial arts actor and director. Still highly popular with the Chinese people, which is why I ask the question.
Could Bruce even be cancelled in China? Or is he too much a national hero? The few Chinese I have spoken with idolize him.
Of course, the left would try to paint him as being a direct descendant of Robert E Lee. LOL
