Celebrity Chinese blogger and property tycoon Ren Zhiqiang has been given one-year probation within the party.

The decision was made by a Beijing district committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

The CPC Xicheng district committee said Ren's remarks on online platforms and during public occasions have run counter to the party's basic policies on multiple occasions, and he has violated the political discipline of the party.

In late February, the top Internet regulator ordered closure of Ren's microblog accounts, accusing him of spreading illegal information.

The Cyberspace Administration of China urged celebrity bloggers with huge followings to use their influence correctly, obey the law and accept their due social responsibilities.
