Shanghai video blogger told to cut down on vulgar content posted online

CHINESE authorities have ordered popular Shanghai blogger Papi Jiang to take down her online videos which contained “swear words and insulting language.”

Papi Jiang was blamed for using expletives in her homemade videos. The State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television said expletives like Cao (fuck) and Xiaobiaozi (bitch) in videos posted online were not acceptable, People’s Daily reported.

The watchdog said the move against Internet celebrity followed complaints “from the public and expert evaluations.”

“The SAPPRFT has required the show to remove the foul language and vulgar content ... before it could go back online,” it said, adding that it will continue to crack down on vulgar Internet shows in the future, Xinhua news agency reported.

Some online video sharing platforms like iQiyi and youku have already removed her videos, but viewers could still access her works on Tencent’s v.qq.com and Miaopai application.

She also did not delete them from her Weibo account, saying she was open to criticism.

“As a media person working on my own, I will be more careful with my words and image. I promise that I would respond to the request to rectify my contents in online videos and pass positive energy to the public,” she said on her Weibo.

Papi Jiang, a film academy graduate whose real name is Jiang Yilei, began posting videos of herself cracking jokes on the Twitter-like Sina Weibo in August last year.

She has 10.91 million followers, and has raised 12 million yuan (US$1.85million) from investors.
