Chinese popular actress Zheng Shuang was completely banned by the Chinese government due to a sky-high tax evasion case and a surrogacy scandal with her ex-boyfriend, which resulted in the filming of TV series unable to be broadcast normally. In her contract dispute with the film and television company Haining Dongkai Star Film and Television Investment Co., Ltd., the court also imposed liquidated damages of 90.5 million yuan (approximately NT$400 million). Previously, Zheng Shuang was restricted from leaving the country due to his delay in paying liquidated damages. On April 1, it was revealed that the court believed that Zheng Shuang “temporarily has no property for execution” and should “terminate the execution procedure.” As soon as the news came out, Chinese netizens sparked heated discussions about whether Zheng Shuang had transferred his property.
According to Chinese media reports, according to the “Qichacha” APP, a new enforcement ruling was issued on the 1st in the recent contract dispute between Zheng Shuang and Haining Dongkai Star Film and Television Investment Co., Ltd. The content of the document shows that the court believes that after exhausting property investigation measures, Zheng Shuang, the person subject to execution in this case, has no property for execution yet, so there is no condition for continued execution, and the execution procedure should be terminated.
Zheng Shuang was once a popular film and television actress in China. It was reported that her salary for a single film exceeded 160 million yuan (approximately NT$700 million). However, in early 2021, she was exposed to “surrogate abandonment” and “yin-yang contract, sky-high salary”, and was banned by the State Administration of Radio and Television of China. She participated in the filming of the TV series “Top Secret”, “Emerald Lovers” and “Only Ask for Love in This Life” “Ming” three dramas were not aired.
In September 2023, the Shanghai Songjiang District Court stated that Zheng Shuang was sued by Haining Dongkai Star Film and Television Investment Co., Ltd. because the TV series he filmed was not broadcast properly, demanding a refund of 30.5 million yuan in service fees and interest, and compensation of 6,000 yuan. Ten thousand yuan. In December, Zheng Shuang was ordered to pay 90.5 million yuan by the Shanghai Songjiang District People’s Court. On December 21, Zheng Shuang was placed on the list of dishonest people and was restricted from leaving the country for failing to pay the 90.5 million case payment.
Today, the Shanghai Songjiang District People’s Court determined that “after exhausting property investigation measures, Zheng Shuang, the person subject to execution in this case, has no property for execution, so there are no conditions for continued execution, and the execution procedure should be terminated.” However, Chinese netizens questioned how Zheng Shuang, who was once known for his sky-high remuneration, with a single-day remuneration as high as 2.08 million yuan, had “no property to enforce”. Therefore, many people question whether Zheng Shuang has “the possibility of deliberately hiding and transferring property.”
In this regard, Zhao Liangshan, a lawyer at Shaanxi Hengda Law Firm, said that the consequences of refusing to perform the obligations specified in the court’s judgment documents are very serious. For those who have the ability to refuse to perform, the court can take measures such as restricting high consumption, including them on the list of dishonest persons subject to execution, judicial detention, etc. Any means and coercive measures that constitute the crime of resisting execution will be investigated for criminal responsibility in accordance with the law. If Zheng Shuang really deliberately hid his financial resources, he may face up to three years in prison, short-term detention or a fine.
