There have been so many big name A-list C-stars cancelled in China for tax evasion, the most recently being Deng Lun, that B-list stars and below should know better and yet there is still this happening. This weekend it was revealed that actress Crystal Yuan (Yuan Bing Yan) best known for the period drama Love and Redemption and most recently in the drama My Sassy Princess, is associated with a company fined for tax evasion. She’s a director of production house Chongqing Liyan Culture Media Co., Ltd. which the Chinese government investigated and fined 970,000 Yuan (around $150,000 USD) in taxes and penalties for underreporting taxable income that was spent. Crystal Yuan’s agency has released an apology that all taxes have now been paid, the company has fully cooperated, and she is in deep reflection. She has also resigned her legal representative, manager, and executive director positions at that company. Time will how C-netizens will react to her case.
