Justin Sun has spent the last week torching whatever goodwill he had left with Chinese audiences, and it keeps getting weirder.
It started when he posted a long story on X about actress Jing Tian, claiming she'd agreed to have a surrogate carry a child using her donated eggs so the two could have a baby together. Sun says she then asked for more money, he refused, and he's now suing her to claw back gifts he'd previously given her. He framed the post as part fiction, part as-close-to-true-as-he-remembers.
The backlash was immediate. Mainland users, other crypto figures, and prominent commentator Hu Xijin all piled on, accusing Sun of dragging Jing's career through the mud for airing private details publicly. Instead of walking it back, Sun did an interview defending himself and kept talking, even while saying he'd let the courts handle it.
Then he picked a fight with Hu directly. When Hu made a remark about having a chat with Sun in Beijing, seemingly questioning whether Sun would ever set foot back in China, Sun responded with a long post arguing over the definition of "decency," contrasting his generation's view of speaking up against Hu's generation's supposed code of swallowing pride. It landed badly.
The capper: Sun offered to livestream a metrology institute measuring his exact height in millimeters, after being mocked online for being short.
Chinese platforms now appear to be scrubbing his name from trending topics, which suggests the whole saga is being quietly buried rather than resolved.
Anyone tracking whether this spills over into how $TRX is perceived, or is this staying purely personal drama?
