The Chinese regime has criticized an American-Taiwanese pop singer days after his divorce and said that it won’t allow him to return to any mainland Chinese stage in the future.

On Dec. 19, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) posted on its website that it will, “Strictly prevent unethical celebrities from going back to stage and participating in any form of art.”
