Exploitation in China's Entertainment

• 🎭 China's talent shows are described as a "dark web of manipulation," where young participants sign horrific contracts that effectively "sell themselves."
• 🔗 These contracts, like Yu Menglong's draconian 2013 agreement with Tanu Media, often include a priority renewal clause that can lock artists in for life.
• 🤝 Actress Yang Mi reportedly attempted to sign Yu Menglong to her company to offer him a "safe haven" but failed due to his existing contract.

Powerful Figures and Global Reach
