“围剿”饭圈：微博下线“明星势力榜”，粉丝经济凉了？
China’s Twitter-like social media platform Sina Weibo has suspended a seven-year-old function that ranks entertainers through fan voting in the wake of a campaign launched by the Chinese government to bring order to the country’s fan club industry.
The campaign, which has mobilized enterprises, individuals and government organizations to crack down on unhealthy fan culture, has made some progress after its implementation two months ago.
