One of Chinaโ€™s most successful actresses has been banned from trading in the countryโ€™s stock markets for โ€œirregularitiesโ€ connected with a takeover bid. Actress Zhao Wei and her husband, Huang Youlong, run a company called Tibet Longwei Culture & Media, which regulators said โ€œseriously misled the market with fake information.โ€
