## Controversies

[edit]

On February 20, 2024, several posts on Liu's own Instagram account accused him of being involved in a series of misconducts, including sexual assault against minors, bribery of judges and officials, embezzling funds from China's national team and using marijuana. The posts showed details of these alleged misconducts and Liu's personal information. The publisher of the posts also threatened to expose illegal acts of officials of the national team and his home province Jilin.[14][15]

The posts stirred controversies and heated discussions on Chinese internet. Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu later posted on Wang's Weibo account, claiming Liu's Instagram account was hacked to spread "false allegations", and saying they have reported the incident to the police.[14][15]

Amid the allegations, Jilin Provincial Sports Bureau said it has initiated an investigation, and assured the public that multiple departments were engaged in verifying the authenticity of the claims.[16][17]
