China's top media regulator has issued a new regulation, banning children of celebrities from appearing in reality TV shows.

According to the new guidelines, celebrities' children that are juveniles, are restricted from appearing on reality shows. All television reality shows, interviews or reports are prohibited from highlighting these children.

Some Chinese television stations say that they have adjusted the broadcast plans of relevant programs. Popular parent-child reality shows, such as "Where Are We Going, Dad?" and "Dad Came Back" will not be produced or broadcast any more, according to their producers.
