BEIJING -- Chinese actress Fan Bingbing is facing a payment six times the amount of taxes she originally owed to the government, a seemingly harsh penalty that appears to reflect the public's displeasure with soaring celebrity wealth in an officially communist country.
Tax authorities have ordered the 37-year-old "X-Men" star to pay a total of 880 million yuan ($128 million) in fines and back taxes for the roughly 140 million yuan in tax bills she and her production company are accused of evading.
