It does not matter who has become "relatively strong role models", but also highlights where it says they have had a "negative" social impact.

But what is most notable is its 0% rating for Fan Bingbing, one of China's biggest stars, who has not been seen in public since July 1 when she visited a children's hospital.

The report was authored by academics at Beijing Normal University.

There is no word on what has happened to Fan. However there is speculation she has been arrested.

The authors said they studied the behavior of Chinese singers, actors, and public figures – based in China and abroad – to assess the extent of their social responsibility.

The bad ratings given to other celebrities has caused annoyance as well. One user, for instance, pointed out that Jackie Chan actor and Tibetan singer Han Hong, who ranks 42nd and 59th, are well-known philanthropists.

Why does this report matter?

Chinese celebrities have long understood that it is a very important issue, and that it is extremely difficult to bounce back after being linked to scandal.

The country's media has also long stressed that celebrities need to spread positive energy among young audiences; in other words, to be upbeat and promote healthy moral values.

So they have lauded celebrities who have, for example, openly condemned tobacco or drug use.

But celebrities who voice opinions in line with government rhetoric gain even higher praise, for example if they promote the importance of young audiences referring to the self-ruling island of Taiwan as a "Chinese region" rather than a "country".
