Chinese actress Gong Li has been heavily criticized for her choice of fashion while lobbying for environmental protection - because she was wearing fur. Li, a delegate to the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, was proposing plans to clean up the environment when she was heckled by the state-run media for wearing fur over her shoulders.

And now politicians and citizens of China alike are calling for her removal from the national body.

Plaintiff Zhou Xin says, "I want to warn Gong Li that if you are going to be a spokesperson for a cause, then you have to take on the social responsibility."

But the actress' manager Zeng Jingchao claims critics are only attacking her because they are jealous of her success.

He says, "This is why people don't want to become famous."
