Ex-lover of disgraced actress Zheng Shuang fined US$5 million for his role in tax evasion case

The former partner of Zheng Shuang, who has run afoul of Chinese regulators, was fined more than 32 million yuan (US$5 million) on Monday for helping the disgraced actress evade taxes.

The Shanghai tax authority said it was fining Zhang Heng because he was responsible for approving and enforcing Zheng’s dual-priced contracts, which allowed her to avoid 43 million yuan (US$6.7 million) in taxes.
