The account of "Xiucai"， an Internet celebrity with more than 12 millions fans on Douyin， the Chinese version of TikTok， was banned on Saturday due to violation of the platform's relevant regulations， triggering heated discussions online.

A staff member from the Tax Bureau of Bozhou， east China's Anhui Province， revealed to Jiupai News that they had received report materials on "Xiucai"， surnamed Xu， involving personal income declaration yesterday evening. The investigation is currently underway.

Previously， a 62-year-old woman from Beijing had claimed online that she had reported the Internet celebrity "Xiucai"， claiming he had cheated her out of 51 million yuan over three months， using dividends as bait through online rewards and offline dividends.

去年冬天接受公司外派之后，我的空闲时间陡然多了起来，和湾湾视频时，她一听我说不用再加班了，就邀请我去她那里小住几天——我俩未来躺在一张床上“卧谈”的机会会越来越少了。我想想也是，就抽出一个周末，带着从公司食堂打包的红烧肉、水果和酸奶去了她家。

"Xiucai"， located in Mengcheng County in Anhui Province， has won more than 12 million fans and received 20 billion "likes" with more than 1，300 videos on Douyin. The earliest video was made in July， 2020.

Most of his video scenes are in rural areas， and he combs his hair and dresses in a suit， mostly filming videos of lip-sync singing.

He is highly popular among middle-aged and elderly women with his energetic image. Data shows that more than 70 percent of his fans are female users， and nearly 80 percent of them are aged over 40 years old.

After Xiucai's account was banned， some netizens believed that "this person is not innocent."

The netizen said that in Xiucai's live broadcast room， he shouted "medical expenses， medical expenses， give me your medical expenses"， suspected of inducing middle-aged and elderly viewers to give him gifts.

"Such a host should be banned as soon as possible娱乐新闻，" the netizen said.
