China Tightens Rules for Influencers

China is rolling out new regulations that will reshape how influencers share content online.

Only those with university degrees or verified professional training can now discuss specialized topics like medicine, finance, law, education, or health.

The move is part of China’s wider effort to reduce misinformation and ensure that expert advice online comes from qualified professionals.

Influencers who ignore the rules risk:
• Account suspension or permanent closure
• Fines up to ¥100,000 (~$14,000)

Major platforms such as Douyin (TikTok China), Weibo, and Bilibili will now verify the credentials of creators before allowing professional-topic content.

🎯 The goal: to make social media a space where credible information thrives and the public can trust what they see online.
