What started out as a personal spat between a Chinese TV personality and a famous Chinese film actress has recently exposed widespread tax evasion within China’s entertainment industry. 
The row was between Cui Yongyuan, TV talk show host and former anchor for the Chinese regime’s state broadcaster, CCTV, and Fan Bingbing, a Chinese actress best known for her role as Blink in the Hollywood movie, “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”
