A provincial state broadcaster in eastern China has denied online rumours that its star radio presenter spent 6 million yuan (US$865,800) on a lavish light show to celebrate her birthday in Nanjing last year – even though it said Deng Huang was warned for breaking the rules.
Rumours emerged on social media that Deng arranged a 10-hour light show – involving military helicopters and drones – in the Xinjiekou business district and a decadent birthday feast at the nearby Jinling Hotel, China News Service reported on Sunday.
