On September 7, the Social Affairs Administration Bureau of Ganzhou Economic Development Zone in Jiangxi issued an official statement. In response to an online claim that a local girl lost her family's subsistence allowance after traveling to Hong Kong for a concert, authorities have launched a prompt and thorough investigation.
The report, which went viral on social media, alleged that a girl from Jiangxi had her entire family's low-income benefits revoked due to overseas spending. Upon verification, the individual in question, identified as a resident named Huang, had independently traveled to Hong Kong to attend a concert. This triggered a routine alert under the dynamic monitoring system for welfare recipients.
Community officials promptly contacted the family to explain the relevant policies and provide a reminder about the regulations. In response, Huang's relatives grew concerned that her trip might lead to the cancellation of their eligibility for the subsistence allowance. This worry prompted them to post the information online in search of guidance and help.
The bureau is currently conducting a formal review of the online claims and the family's overall situation. Any further action will be taken strictly in accordance with the law and existing regulations once the investigation is complete.
