[Epoch Times, June 17, 2021](Epoch Times reporter Liu Yi reported) The CCP recently announced that it would rectify the fan base of the mainland Internet “fan circle”. Overseas commentator Professor Zhang Tianliang believes that the CCP has been in the so-called 100 years since the founding of the party. The international escalation of the monitoring of the Internet is for fear of democratic upheavals in these “fan circle” fan groups and anti-communist groups.
The Cyberspace Administration of the Communist Party of China issued a document on its official website on June 15 stating that from now on, it will carry out a two-month special operation of “Clearness‧Fanquan chaos rectification” for Fanquan fan groups nationwide. Focusing on celebrity lists, hot topics, fan communities, interactive comments and other links, crack down on fan searches and privacy violations in five categories.
In this regard, Zhang Tianliang said that the CCP’s rectification of the “fan” is that the CCP has seen the appeal of celebrities. Fans of celebrities can do a lot of extraordinary things for idols. This appeal of celebrities scares the CCP because the CCP is not a democratically elected government. Any civil organization that reaches a certain number of people will make the CCP feel threatened. What do these fans do with the celebrities today? If the celebrities oppose the CCP tomorrow, will these fans oppose the CCP together with the celebrities? The CCP may be out of such a worry.
Zhang Tianliang believes that the CCP is approaching its 100th anniversary of the founding of the party. It will take the opportunity to rectify the Internet and tighten its control over Internet public opinion.
Radio Free Asia quoted Zhejiang legal scholar Song Hao, who is concerned about the current situation of China’s Internet, as saying: “This is closely related to the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China this year. For them, they are particularly worried about the emergence of so-called noise at important historical moments. This affects his so-called happy and peaceful atmosphere. The so-called chaos in the rice circle does not actually have any political attributes and does not pose a threat to the security of the regime.”
Song Hao said: “The authorities are not at ease in the fields of entertainment, leisure, and culture. The cyber authorities are trying to lead young people to entertainment, advocating young people not to care about politics and human rights, but to look to the money.”
Ms. Zhu, a member of the Zhejiang film and television cultural circle, said that the authorities’ move was to train young people who “love the party and the country” and influence the values of young people.
Zhang Tianliang further analyzed that the CCP’s rectification of celebrity entertainment is also a phenomenon that has only occurred in recent years, including the tax evasion of celebrities such as Fan Bingbing. The CCP has always encouraged the entertainment industry. On the one hand, entertainment can kill time, and on the other hand, entertainment can make people temporarily forget the pain. At the same time, watching entertainment programs for a long time will make it difficult for people to concentrate, think seriously, and reflect on social chaos. For example, the CCP used to be relatively loose in the entertainment industry, and the CCP used entertainment as a kind of opium. But now the CCP’s regulation of the entertainment industry feels like it is really short of money, and cutting leeks has already been cut to the entertainment industry.
