Scandal-tainted Chinese actress Zheng Shuang is at the centre of another controversy, this time over tax evasion, sky-high salary and contract fraud.

China's taxation and broadcasting watchdogs said on Wednesday (April 28) that they are investigating the 29-year-old star, who has seen her promising career derailed by accusations that she had abandoned two surrogate children in the United States three months ago.
