Model Media was a US-registered pornographic website that produced films in Chinese. It recruited adult performers in mainland China and Taiwan, and its films were mainly inspired by storylines from Japanese adult videos or well-known East Asian movies. Although most performers were Taiwanese, filmmakers required them to speak with mainland Chinese accents, and all covers, advertisements and subtitles were in Simplified Chinese.
Enforcement and arrests
At the end of 2020, the company's app was included on a list announced by the Cyberspace Administration of China of apps to be taken down. In January 2022, Shanghai police arrested 24 members of Model Media in Guangdong and Sichuan, bringing the company's operations under sustained pressure from Chinese authorities.
Closure
On April 2, 2026, Model Media declared its closure, ending the operations of a production team that had been known for recruiting performers across mainland China and Taiwan and for producing Chinese-language adult films.
