  2. Ahh there’s the little bit of Marxism censorship from China lol

  3. Wouldnt want the sheep to see how they get fleeced by their corrupt betters. They might get ideas.

  4. If I was a betting man, I’d bet that this is going to get a lot harsher over the next 5 years.

  7. So, in other words, China is banning it’s citizens from acting Russian.

  8. It’s just hiding the massive difference in wealth from the poorer citizens. No real systemic changes to fix the corruption.

  9. So trying to remove boasting from society….i belive the boasting will win out long term

  10. In Australia we just have Tall Poppy Syndrome. It ain’t perfect, but calling out shitcunts is quite cathartic.

  13. I want to say that it’ll finally show the spoiled brats, but we all know this is to hide the CCP’s own classicism.

  14. It don’t matter. All their money is in the laundry machine we call Singapore.

  15. If I lived in a one party communist state I don’t think I’d *want* to flaunt any wealth.

  16. Banning flaunting of wealth AND making redditors mad while doing it???
    How dare they 

  17. So how would one go about shorting LVMH asking for a friend.

  18. Honestly, while I understand interpreting this as an overreach, isn’t this actually a good thing?

    How many people get scammed by influencers that flaunt to have absurd amount of money and that can help you get the same in “three easy steps”?
    All the while those things are props?

    Not to mention the impact it has on people’s perceptions of what’s valuable, how many kids want to become influencers?
    Why do we think that’s the case?

    Developing realistic expectations is important.

    Yes this move won’t hit actually wealthy people’s bottom line, but diminishing the cult-like adoration sounds like a good thing for me.

    It’s also basic psychology, people want things they see other people having, even when that thing actual isn’t what it’s protrayed as.
    How many wealthy would have bought a boat if there wasn’t a concept yatches being luxurious?
    Some for sure, but less than otherwise.

  19. I’m very sorry for the Chinese people. But it is good for the rest of the world that the Chinese government handicaps its own economy with these types of controls.

    If their manufacturing capabilities was match by the personal freedoms of the Chinese, China would be the most powerful country in the world.

    But they are prisoners of their government.

  20. I don’t disagree with the basic idea. A lot of “influencers” are a cancer to society. It’s today’s “Girls get a bad image of what they should look like from magazines” but on steroids sprinkled with cocaine.

  21. It’s all about control. Don’t want the people to know who’s ripping them off.

  22. This type of behaviour has always come and gone since the cultural revolution.

  24. I don’t find the government should ban it, but it is smart for them to do so.

    People should scoff at it though in this day and age.

    People who flaunt wealth are flaunting that they’re exploiting others, and also destroying the economy for, just to have more fun.

    Meanwhile, so many people are homeless.

  25. Pardon my ignorance but people in China had that option?

  26. In other words, they’re trying to ban a part of human nature?

    Good luck with that.

  27. Going full totalitarian, I see. Should end well for them. It always does, right?

  29. Good’ol global economy. World wide middle class is dying. Yay

  31. I know it’s China but how would this be enforced? And how does one interpret “wealth flaunting” behavior?

  32. All this signals to me, is that the Chinese government expects an economic crisis to happen in China very soon (or maybe one is already underway, just swept under the rug?), and is already taking measures to avoid making the public even angrier when it happens.
