The self-media account "Financial City Beast" published an article claiming that Shen Haixiong had pursued Tong Liya and subsequently married and divorced her; these claims have not been verified.

In an interview on the French web show The Bridge (hosted by his Real Madrid teammate Tchouaméni), Mbappé was asked about the funniest meme of himself. He said it was the one where someone put his face onto a photo of “a Chinese dictator,” adding that he often sends it to friends while playing video games. The show later edited in a composite image of him and Mao Zedong. Multiple media outlets report that the interview was recorded in April this year, and clips spread on platforms such as Reddit and X starting October 26.

Shen Haixiong was promoted to Executive Deputy Minister of the Publicity Department of the CCP Central Committee after the Two Sessions in March 2025.

Hong Kong's Ming Pao, citing Beijing sources, claimed that Shen Haixiong remarried Tong Liya; Tong Liya denied the rumors and reported the matter to the police.

Online reports claim that Shen Haixiong arranged for Tong Liya to host the program "Walking on the Road Home," which tells the story of her life.

After the merger of CCTV, China National Radio, and China Radio International to form the China Media Group, Shen Haixiong was appointed as its first president and Party secretary.

Between 2018 and 2020, Tong Liya continuously received important resources from CCTV, with related content linking this to the period when Shen Haixiong was in charge of the station.

In 2015, Shen Haixiong was appointed as a Standing Committee member of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Deputy Head of the Publicity Department.
