Dispute In early April 2019, Zhao Lixin posted on Sina Weibo, "Why did the Japanese occupy Beijing for eight years, why didn't they snatch the cultural relics from the Forbidden City and burn the Forbidden City? Is this in line with the nature of the invaders?", "Why did the British and French coalition forces burn the Old Summer Palace?" and other remarks. It attracted the attention of many netizens and was questioned as absolving the Japanese aggressor. Subsequently, the official media such as Ziguangge, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, China Anti-cult and other official media criticized Zhao Lixin's views. After the public outcry, Zhao Lixin deleted the related controversial Weibo and issued a statement of apology on April 3. Shortly after (April 6), his personal Weibo was cancelled, and his studio official Weibo also deleted all content. Sina "Weibo Administrator" announced on the afternoon of April 16 that a batch of accounts that posted harmful information about current affairs had been investigated and dealt with, including Weibo of actor Zhao Lixin.
