On August 25, the official Weibo account of Doyoo Network, a well-known Chinese gaming company, was suspended. The page is now inaccessible, with a notice stating: “This account has been blocked due to complaints about violating laws and regulations, as well as the Weibo Community Convention.” Xu Bo, the founder of Doyoo Network, also had his personal account suspended around the same time.
Recently, Xu Bo has been in the spotlight over a legal battle involving hundreds of millions of yuan with his ex-girlfriend, alongside heated discussions about his children. On July 3, Doyoo Network’s Weibo account published a lengthy post explaining the retrial verdict in this property dispute. The court clarified that the relationship between Xu Bo and Tang Jing was a “custodial arrangement” with no commingling of assets or gifting involved, and ordered Tang to return the remaining 244 million yuan. However, it also deducted 15 million yuan from the repayment, citing their past romantic relationship, shared raising of multiple children, and a chat message that read “leave 15 million for you first.”
In the statement, Doyoo Network strongly opposed this “discretionary deduction,” arguing that a “custodial relationship” should not be reclassified as a gift just because the parties were once romantically involved. The company also pointed out that the character “先” (first) in the chat message clearly implied a temporary deposit arrangement. Citing data from the “China Child Rearing Cost Report 2026,” the company claimed that just over one million yuan is enough to raise two children from birth to age 18, and that 15 million yuan “would be sufficient to raise 26 children to adulthood.” Calling the deduction “absurdly excessive,” the company vowed to appeal.
Doyoo Network also went public with details about Xu Bo’s children, stating that “Xu Bo has more than 100 kids,” and even shared a group photo of a large number of children seated in rows in a hall-like setting, with caregivers standing nearby. The company also calculated and published the average annual cost of raising each child, which it put at around 24,000 to 29,000 yuan per child—not including additional expenses like housekeeping, education, or housing. On July 8, the account posted again, likening Xu Bo to a “fusion of Duan Zhengchun and Guo Jing” from martial arts fiction, and describing his relationships with his ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend in vivid detail.
According to public records, Xu Bo was born in 1977 in Wuhan, Hubei Province. He previously worked at NetEase before founding Doyoo Network, where he currently holds over 99.8% of the shares. The 2025 Hurun Global Rich List ranked Xu Bo at 1,419th place with a wealth of 23 billion yuan. In his early days on Weibo, he was active under the handle “煮肘” (Boiled Elbow), and his views on childbirth and relationships have repeatedly sparked controversy. Over the years, he has openly promoted having many children and endorsed extreme personal views on marriage and gender, drawing widespread criticism for clashing with mainstream social values.
Founded in 2006, Doyoo Network is a game development and publishing company, known for titles like “幻唐志” (Fantasy Tang), “梦想世界” (Dream World), and “枪火重生” (Gunfire Reborn). According to data from Tianyancha App, Guangzhou Doyoo Network Co., Ltd. has a registered capital of 360 million yuan, with core business covering software development, network technology services, and AI-related algorithm software development. The company’s equity structure includes founder Xu Bo and Guangzhou Haoran Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership), with Xu Bo as the core controlling shareholder.
Currently, Xu Bo is associated with a total of 9 market entities, 8 of which are still active and operational. These include investment firms like Suzhou Yiwei Investment Co., Ltd. and Guangdong Junwei Investment Co., Ltd., where he typically serves as chairman or a major shareholder, wielding significant control over business decisions.
Notably, Doyoo Network has also been hit by tax compliance issues this year. In April 2026, the company was fined over 516,700 yuan by regulatory authorities for failing to fulfill its obligations as a withholding agent, having failed to withhold and remit taxes as required by law.
