headline. Chinese Instagram Red Note. Bans Justin Sun's accounts. Published at 2.25 pm,
March 4, 2026. Chinese National Tron Creator and unrealized crypto billionaire Justin Sun
is having a difficult week with his stock, Tron Inc, continuing to crater and now his Red Note,
Xiaohong Xu, account getting banned. A reason for the ban wasn't stated by the platform,
but speculation among users has been rampant. Indeed, replies have run the gamut from joyful
to calling him a scammer, to disappointment, and even suggesting they'll now rely on X instead
of Red Note. Sun doesn't mention the ban on X, despite the fact that Sun had well over 100,000
followers on his Red Note account and relied on it to share his crypto hot takes with the Chinese
community, like that he's all in on Web 4.0. He's failed to mention the ban on X. Sun has two
X accounts at Justin Sun Tron for his English language audience and at Sun Yu Chen Tron for
his Chinese mainland followers. The Red Note ban means that Sun now has no active social media
accounts in China whatsoever, with his TikTok account getting shut down relatively recently.
One of his Weibo accounts got banned in 2019 and another in 2020. Two of Sun's banned social media
accounts in China. Read more. Justin Sun's Tron stock is dying. He still has one unbanned Weibo
account, but he hasn't posted from it in over a year. At least four different Sun's social media
accounts have been banned in China, likely more that are unaccounted for. Meanwhile, users of Red
Note, which has been described as the Chinese answer to Instagram, responded to the ban in mixed
ways, with some suggesting that the ban was because Sun was reported by someone born before the
90s, and another stating, so tragic, I can only go to X from now on with a reply of no internet
spirit at all, banning accounts at every turn. Some users comments on Sun's Red Note ban.
However, others seemed happy with the takedown. One user in Inner Mongolia said,
this is a good thing, while another took credit for the ban posting,
you're welcome. I'm the one who reported him. Chinese social media is more effective at banning
scammers. Sun's latest ban begs the question as to why American social media companies haven't
taken a similar step to Nick's the serial crypto entrepreneur. While his incessant shilling and
promotion of high yield staking on Tron appears to be enough to get him removed from every single
major Chinese social media platform, the cringe-worthy and scam adjacent posting doesn't seem to be
enough to get him removed from X, Instagram, Facebook or YouTube. Between all of his American social
media accounts, Sun has amassed just under 10 million followers. This recording is AI-generated.
