Extortive donations

逼捐(bijuan)

After the explosions at Tianjin Port, Internet users began to appeal to celebrities and rich people to donate money to help those affected by the disaster. Some netizens even tried to force them into doing so. For instance, one posted on the micro blog of Alibaba Group Chairman Ma Yun that he should donate 100 million yuan ($15.64 million), or: "I won't purchase on Taobao.com any more if you don't donate."
