In September 2026, social media platforms circulated claims that a girl from a subsistence-allowance (dibao) household in Ganzhou, Jiangxi traveled to Hong Kong to attend a concert and that her entire family's dibao benefits were revoked because of her cross-border spending. On September 7, the Social Affairs Administration Bureau of the Ganzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone issued a statement saying that the trip to Hong Kong for a concert did indeed trigger the dynamic monitoring alert for dibao recipients, and that the community had given her a policy reminder, but that her family's dibao benefits had not been revoked at the time. The incident sparked discussion among netizens over whether an individual's non-essential spending after receiving public assistance should affect eligibility for that assistance.
