China is banning 'wealth-flaunting' behavior on social media

中国禁止社交媒体上的炫富行为

HONG KONG — Online influencers known for their luxurious lifestyles are disappearing from Chinese social media amid a government crackdown on conspicuous displays of wealth.

香港—随着政府打击炫富行为，有些以奢靡生活出圈的网红开始从中国社交媒体上消失了。

One of them, Wang Hongquan, had claimed that he owned seven properties in Beiing, the Chinese capital, and that he never left the house in an outfit worth less than 10 million yuan ($1.38 million). Videos he posted online, the veracity of which could not be verified, appeared to show his maids, numerous Hermès handbags and expensive sports cars that he had purchased.

其中有一人曾表示，他在中国首都北京市拥有七处房产，他出门时的衣着绝不会低于1000万元人民币(约合138万美元)。他在网上发布的视频(真实性无法核实)中出现过他的女佣、大量爱马仕包包和他昂贵跑车。

On Tuesday, his account on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, was inaccessible to his 4.3 million followers. Searches returned an error message saying it had been blocked “due to violations of Douyin’s community guidelines.”

周二，他的430万粉丝发现无法访问他在抖音(TikTok中文版)上的账户。粉丝们搜索后，平台显示了一条错误信息，称该账户”因违反抖音的社区准则”而被屏蔽。

The Douyin accounts of other online influencers who posted similar content, such as Bo Gongzi (Young Wealthy Lord Bai), with 2.9 million followers, and Baoyu Jiajie (Abalone Sister), with 2.3 million followers, were also blocked.

还有一些发布过类似炫富内容的网红的抖音账户也被屏蔽了，其中就有拥有290万粉丝的柏公子和拥有230万粉丝的鲍鱼家姐。

Can we do that here?

Social media is ruining an entire generation.

我们能不能也学学？

社交媒体正在摧毁整整一代人。

Joyce

No, we can't. Once start down the path what would be the next ban and so on...

不，我们不能。一旦开了个头，下一个禁令又会是什么？

Christopher

We banned porn on broadcast tv

我们禁止电视播放色情节目

Sounds like there is a lot of envy exhibited by people who want what others have. It would be far less devastating, culturally, to teach people what happiness truly is.

听起来，那些对别人拥有的东西垂涎欲滴的人非常嫉妒。从文化上讲，告诉人们什么才是真正的幸福就没那么吸引人了。

jim

very good point but how to go about policing it...

非常好的观点，但是该如何进行监管……

United snakes wants their children to be able to live in a fantasy world of wealth and glamour flaunt by a few.

美国希望他们的孩子能够生活在一个只有少数人炫耀财富和魅力的幻想世界里。

Hey

I know a lot of (actually) rich people. Few if any of them have any social media presence whatsoever and none of them ever flaunt their wealth. In my experience those who flaunt it, don’t really have it.

我认识很多(真)有钱人。他们几乎不会在社交媒体上露面，也没有人炫耀过自己的财富。根据我的经验，那些炫富的人并不是真的富。

Daniel

That depends. Old rich (multi-generational wealth) tend to be very private. New rich (just earned it) tend to flaunt it more.

那得看情况了。老钱阶层(世代传承)往往非常注重隐私。新富(暴发户)往往更喜欢炫耀。

DANA

I just hope that all of you "rich" folk do have some philanthropic activities.....because, in my humble opinion, how much stuff do you need.

And, yes, with what little I do have, I contribute to many local charities.

我只希望你们这些“有钱人”都能多做一些慈善活动.....因为，在我看来，你们需要的东西能有多少。

是的，我也用我仅有的一点积蓄为当地的慈善机构捐款。

Life's a Beach

I do but prefer to remain anonymous.

我也想炫，但我会匿名炫。

Julius

When you give away everything you have earned, you can have a say in where some of mine goes.

等你把你赚来的钱全都捐出去的时候，你就可以对我的钱的去向有发言权了。

Solar Deity

Depends. You don't need a lot to survive but most people want a lot more than the bare minimum required to stay alive. Since you are using the Internet I would wager that you grown accustomed to living in luxury that kings couldn't have dreamed of not so long ago.

这要视情况而定了。你不需要太多物质来维持生存，但大多数人想要的远远超过所需的最低限度。既然你可以使用互联网，那我敢打赌，你已经对不久前国王们做梦也想不到的奢华生活习以为常了。

Christine

Absolutely although my husband inherited we are modest. I still work part time, he works full time. I really don't discuss what we have as it's no ones business

当然，虽然我丈夫继承了大笔遗产，但我们仍然很低调。我还继续从事兼职工作，我丈夫全职工作。我真的不想讨论我们的财富，因为这和任何人都没有关系。

Yet you are here on the Yahoo public news boards telling people about your own wealth and giving your opnions on a range of topics....this IS social media.

但是你现在就在雅虎公共新闻论坛上告诉人们你有钱，还就一系列话题发表了你的看法....这就是社交媒体。

Rob

Agreed, I was a chauffeur waaaay back when it was a legitimate profession.  Old money were the the most gracious and kind people, and generous tippers (not to mention they were quick to grab their own luggage).  New money were arrogant, verbally abusive, and treated you like you were their servant,...

我同意，当司机还是个合法职业的时候，我曾经是个司机。有钱的人是最亲切、最善良的，他们给的小费也很慷慨(更不用说他们会很快自己拿行李)。反倒是那些新富们非常傲慢自大，恶语相向，把别人当成自己的奴仆……

Pro Veritate

I grew up in the Main Line. The only thing Old Money splurge on are memberships at the country clubs. They shop at K-mart and drive regular cars like everyone else.

我是在主干线上长大的。唯一能让老钱家庭挥霍的就是乡村俱乐部的会员资格了。他们一样在K-mart购物，像其他人一样开普通的车。

Daniel

I thought K-mart was gone?

Regardless what I’ve seen is they do tend to spend more money on items than the rest of us…but they’re paying for quality, not flash.

New rich thinks flash is quality.

我以为K-mart已经关门了？

他们确实倾向于在道具上花更多的钱，但他们是在为品质而不是花哨而付费。

新富们认为花哨才是王道。

Pro Veritate

There was a K-mart in Devon (near Devon station).  I don't know if it is still there or not since I haven't been back in that area in a long time.  

德文郡以前有一家K-mart(就在德文车站附近)。我不知道现在还在不在，我已经很久没有回去过了。

Richard Bolinski

They also buy used cars & for parties rent fancy place settings to look the best. Then shop Sam's Club, Costco & use paper plates like everyone else when relaxng with family. Not different then

他们也会购买二手车，为派对租用豪华的场所设置。他们还会去山姆会员店和好市多采购，和家人一起放松的时候也会一样用纸盘。并没有什么不同。

Yahoo Fact Check

The "new rich" who flaunt tend to also lose it because of their poor mentality.... not so good with money.

标榜自己的“新富”往往也会因为匮乏的心态而失去财富....他们对钱不太在行。

Devon

I agree, I work at a high-end restaurant part-time. The people who are dressed down usually spend the most and tip the best.

我同意，我在一家高档餐厅做兼职。穿着朴素的人通常更舍得点菜，小费也给得最多。

Richard Bolinski

People who are dressed down are also less noticed. Allowing them to decompress from their different sets of stress.

穿着朴素的人也不太引人注意。让他们从不同的压力中减压。

waltonhorrible

you are talking about the rich folks who built their wealth and probably are over a certain age. the new generation of rich kids are 2nd generation kids of rich folks where they have nothing to do with making the wealth nor things to do at all but has rich parents.

你在谈论的是那些已经积累了财富的富人，他们可能已经超过了一定的年龄。有钱人的下一代是富二代，他们跟赚钱沾不上边，也无事可做，但他们有富裕的父母。

Sal

The people you know do flaunt what they have because they are older and don't need to say look at me. This is not the case when it comes to the internet generation. They have this great need to say look at me. The more followers they have the more they can make using the internet

你认识的人确实会炫耀他们拥有的东西，因为他们年纪大了，他们不需要开口说你们都得看着我。但对于互联网一代来说，情况并非如此。他们有迫切的需求，要求大家看我看我。他们拥有的追随者越多，他们就可以利用互联网制造更多的东西。

Ulookin@ME

Social media “influencers” need to fake flaunt it for their lemming followers

社交媒体的”网红们”需要为他们的追随者虚假“炫富”。

josh

Are these people self made or born into rich family. People who never accomplished any thing display the stuff the most

这些人是白手起家的呢，还是含着金汤匙出生的呢。那些一事无成的人最喜欢炫耀。

Peter

I work for a major university. Every building constructed in the last 10-15 years has the name of a wealthy donor on it. I have yet to see a building that has been funded by an anonymous donor.

我在一所重点大学工作。过去10-15年里建造的每座大楼上都有一个富豪捐赠者的名字。我还没有看到过由匿名捐赠者资助的建筑。

noopy

I teach medieval history and I have student read primary sources regarding wealth and business. The goal back then was to make yourself invisible to the masses in order to not attract attention and to trust no one and not be easily persuaded by “big talkers” that had “get rich quick” schemes. Tryin...

我教授中世纪历史，我让学生阅读有关财富和商业的第一手资料。此举是想让学生不被大众关注，不相信任何人，不会被那些有“一日暴富”计划的“吹牛大王”洗脑。

Stephen

The ones that have money, you woukd never know. The ones that act like it, have nothing but debt

那些有钱的人，你是永远都不可能认识的。有炫富行为的人，往往除了债务之外一无所有

Shawn

That's not a Chinese thing, that's a traditional view held in most of the world.

这不是中国独有的现象，全世界大多数地区都有这样的观点。
