China has officially introduced new regulations for online influencers and content creators, marking a major shift in how professional topics are shared on digital platforms. Under the new policy, only individuals with verified academic or professional qualifications can discuss specialized areas such as medicine, finance, law, education, or health.

What This Means for the Hafrik Community

As a growing digital community built for foreigners and locals living in China, Hafrik will align with these national content standards to ensure compliance and transparency. This means that creators who share advice or insights in professional fields will now need to verify their qualifications before posting related content.

Introducing the “Verified Professional” Badge

To make the process easy, Hafrik is introducing a new “Verified Professional” badge for eligible creators. This badge helps users easily identify credible experts while allowing qualified professionals to share content confidently. The verification process can be completed directly from your profile by uploading relevant credentials or proof of expertise.

What Type of Content Is Affected?

• 🩺 Medical and health advice
• 💰 Financial, business, or investment guidance
• ⚖️ Legal or visa consultations
• 🎓 Educational or academic tutorials

Creators posting lifestyle, travel, culture, entertainment, or community-based content will not be affected by this rule.

Why This Matters

The goal of this new regulation is to reduce misinformation and ensure that online audiences receive reliable advice from people with verified expertise. Platforms such as Douyin, Weibo, and Bilibili have already begun enforcing these checks — and Hafrik supports this direction as part of its commitment to building a trusted and responsible online community.

Next Steps for Creators

If your content falls under any of the professional categories above, please verify your account to continue sharing freely. You can start the process by visiting your profile settings and selecting “Verify as Professional.”

“Hafrik is committed to empowering creators while keeping our platform safe, credible, and community-driven. We believe that verified knowledge helps everyone grow with confidence.”
