Online shows are prohibited from having sections in which viewers spend money to buy votes for entertainment stars, according to a notice released on Monday by Beijing Municipal Radio and Television Bureau.
The shows are strictly forbidden from instigating or encouraging netizens to vote for their favorite online show competitors via materialistic approaches such as purchasing specific goods or membership, the bureau said in a notice released on its WeChat account.
Any institution or individual is not allowed to fabricate vote statistics or influence the results of the shows by buying votes, it added.
