China’s X-Men actress Fan Bingbing denies tax evasion accusations as probe launched

Chinese actress Fan Binging, known in Hollywood for her role in X-Men: Days of Future Past, is denying accusations that she evaded taxes by signing two different contracts for the same job -- the key difference between them being the size of her fee. The allegations come as China’s tax authorities order an investigation into the dual-contract system allegedly used by certain television and movie actors in China, according to state-run media.
