The weekly series sees celebrity fathers take their offspring on trips to rural locations around China, and has proved to be a ratings hit &#8211; and advertising money-spinner &#8211; for Hunan TV, pulling in 75 million viewers per episode, People&#8217;s Daily reported last year.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In September, China announced a new law stipulating that children under the age of 10 must not be used in advertisements.<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Unsurprisingly, some social media users aren&#8217;t too pleased with the change, which will also affect other shows. &#8220;SAPPRFT does not listen to public opinion,&#8221; complains one user on the Weibo microblogging site. Another notes sarcastically: &#8220;Great, now we can just watch 24-hour rolling news.&#8221;<\/span><\/div><div>&nbsp;<\/div><div><\/div><div><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Plenty of others have applauded the move, though. &#8220;This is good for the children,&#8221; reads one comment, while another describes the decision as &#8220;long overdue&#8221;. And for some, the cancellation of Where Are We Going, Dad? is no great loss.
