The 2017-2018 China Film and Television Social Responsibility Report, conducted by popular media outlets, ranks Chinese celebrities according to the criteria: professional work, charitable actions and personal integrity.

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.

Who is Fan Bingbing?

She is known internationally as a singer and model, as well as for her appearance in the X-Men film franchise.

Though Fan Bingbing's studio is a well-known, well-rounded, one of the most widely known, and one of the most widely circulated allegations, which state media has had a negative impact on society.

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

Most recently, the state-run Chinese Daily Securities published a report which said it had been "under control, and would accept the legal decision".

But the story was pulled down a few hours later.

How does the report rank stars?

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.

They did not exactly describe how they arrived at the results in the test, but said that their findings were based on "research and web-scraping".

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".

This latest emphasis on social responsibility, which media and fans are taking a new look at power.
