Abstract: In China, the punitive measure of universally "banning" artists who have committed moral or legal violations has become a normalized and long-term mechanism for regulating the domestic entertainment industry. However, there is considerable debate and disagreement in both academic and industry circles regarding the legitimacy and effectiveness of this measure. The main points of contention focus on the lack of a clear definition for the concept of "problematic artists," the absence of a precise definition, and the insufficient logical coherence and completeness of the system at the legal level. Tainted stars should be assessed based on their specific actions and circumstances, with different levels established to apply corresponding punitive measures. When restricting or prohibiting problematic artists from entering the industry, regulatory bodies should ensure fair and transparent hearing procedures and appeal mechanisms, granting the parties involved adequate rights to defense and redress. At the same time, it is important to draw on international governance models and experiences, leverage the proactive role of industry associations, and respect the principles of market freedom of choice. Particularly when formulating sanctions, it is essential to avoid extreme and excessive measures, and not to indiscriminately ban problematic artists, nor should their previous hard work and contributions be affected by the normal broadcasting of their works.
