BEIJING—China has ordered A-list movie star Fan Bingbing to pay about 884 million yuan ($129 million) in overdue taxes and fines, state-run media Xinhua said on Oct. 3, as a crackdown on tax evasion in the entertainment industry gathers momentum.
The 37-year-old actor, whose June disappearance touched off speculation about her whereabouts, has appeared in the “X-Men” and “Iron Man” film franchises, and has more than 62 million online followers in China.
