Douyin influencer “Crazy Little Yang Ge” had previously been suspended from streaming for two years over fraud, and his originally planned return on September 20 was abruptly halted by the Cyberspace Administration of China. On October 16, Little Yang Ge and his brother deregistered their original Douyin accounts, issuing statements and resuming streaming under the new IDs “Qingyang” and “Kaiyang” respectively. According to the Twitter user @GFWfrog, a large number of accounts impersonating “Qingyang” have already appeared on the Douyin platform.
