[People News] Recently, two shocking incidents — the death of Chinese actor Yu Menglong and a luxury car crash involving Yang Lanlan, a 23-year-old Chinese student in Australia — have sparked widespread public outrage. These two fires, as netizens put it, are burning all the way to Zhongnanhai, directly threatening Xi Jinping’s grip on power. Because the scandals erupted just before the Fourth Plenary Session of the CCP’s 20th Central Committee, many observers believe they could escalate into a political storm that shakes the CCP elite.
According to multiple media reports, on July 26, in the upscale Sydney suburb of Rose Bay, Yang Lanlan drove her Rolls-Royce on the wrong side of the road and crashed head-on into a Mercedes-Benz van. The Mercedes driver suffered catastrophic injuries — including spinal fractures, broken hips and femurs, a ruptured spleen, and abdominal lacerations. Doctors said he will likely spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
What enraged Chinese netizens most was not only that Yang never apologised to the victim, but also that her extraordinary wealth soon came to light.
Investigations by online users revealed that Yang, who moved to Australia at age 14 and now holds permanent residency, lives in a multi-million-dollar apartment in Woollahra, one of Sydney’s richest districts, where property prices start around AUD 4 million. Her family garage reportedly houses two Rolls-Royces — the 2025 Cullinan model involved in the crash (worth over USD 1 million) and another white convertible registered not under her name but under a shell company with no traceable owner, suggesting deliberate asset concealment.
A netizen who once spotted Yang at a café noted her jacket was a limited-edition luxury brand piece costing AUD 23,000, while an average local worker earns around AUD 4,000 a month. Her accessories — Hermès bracelets, Chanel loafers, and other designer items — totalled nearly AUD 10,000, and even her coffee cup was a custom-made model worth AUD 1,200.
Curiosity about Yang’s background exploded online. Users dug into her education, cars, and properties — and soon, rumours of high-level connections emerged. Multiple posts alleged that Yang Lanlan is actually Xi Jinping’s illegitimate daughter, real name Xi Minglan, born in 2002 in Hangzhou to a famous Yue Opera performer. According to these claims, Xi’s mother Qi Xin told him that “all descendants of the Xi family must be treated equally.” After moving to Australia, Yang allegedly visited Qi Xin frequently in Hong Kong.
Another viral claim alleged that Yang holds AUD 270 billion (about RMB 1.35 trillion) in deposits at an Australian bank — an astronomical figure that, though unverified, fed public suspicion that she might indeed be part of the CCP’s princeling elite siphoning vast state wealth overseas. Netizens commented, “The real tycoons never appear on rich lists,” and “The children of officials and red families are all invisible billionaires.” Yang, they noted, seems to have perfected “high spending with zero trace”, living as an “invisible rich” figure hidden behind layers of shell companies.
Some analysts believe the timing is telling: the case broke just before the Fourth Plenary Session, and its amplification by overseas media could signal factional infighting or a warning shot among rival elite families. The exposure of Yang’s background and assets may be a controlled leak, a way to send messages inside the Party. Under the CCP’s current climate of fear, any scandal involving elite families can quickly become a proxy for power struggles at the top. The sudden spotlight on this “mysterious rich girl,” they argue, suggests that “someone is leaking, and someone is being warned.”
For the past year or two, rumours have circulated that Xi Jinping’s power is being curtailed. Recently, Beijing political circles have again whispered that Xi might relinquish his position as chairman of the Central Military Commission at the upcoming plenum — as military purges and power reshuffles continue to ripple through the ranks. Another rumour, however, claims that Xi is still seeking to extend his rule even further.
During the September 3rd military parade in Beijing, Xi was overheard in conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin discussing organ transplants and “living to 150 years,” revealing, observers say, his unwillingness to retire — and further stoking public anger.
Then, on September 11, actor Yu Menglong was reportedly murdered, reigniting outrage. According to explosive new online claims, Yu was chosen as a “sacrifice” because he shared the same birthday as Xi Jinping — allegedly killed to extend Xi’s fortune and longevity. The story sent shockwaves through Chinese social media. Countless users exclaimed: “This is pure evil!”

YouTube commentator “Old Lantern” (老燈) recently revealed the final message that the late Chinese actor Yu Menglong allegedly sent to his mother before his death. The message contained a disturbing passage mentioning a “Prince” (親王) — a title traditionally reserved for an emperor’s brother. Observers believe this referred to Xi Yuanping, Xi Jinping’s younger brother. Yu reportedly wrote: “But that old man who calls himself ‘Prince’ has eyes like a wolf — greedy and predatory. Every time he comes near me, I feel a chill down my spine. And that little princess from Australia — their worlds seem so far apart, yet they’re strangely intertwined with mine... Mom, my body may no longer be pure. The humiliation of those nights keeps me awake. But my soul is clean. It flickers like a faint light struggling in the darkness. I refused their temptations, refused to become their puppet. But what good does that do? That family is omnipotent; their power seeps into every corner. Ordinary people are like ants. If my life ends today, please don’t grieve...”
Commentators speculate that “the little princess from Australia” refers to Yang Lanlan, rumoured to be Xi Jinping’s illegitimate daughter. The idea that both the elder and younger members of the Xi family might have been involved in humiliating Yu has left the public outraged. Yu’s alleged suicide note continued: “That family’s been in trouble recently. Some people came to me to investigate their money-laundering activities in Australia. When the investigators questioned me, my heart nearly jumped out of my chest, but I said nothing — I was never that deeply involved. But the ‘Prince’ suspected I betrayed them. Tonight’s banquet was about that matter. His gaze was dark and threatening. He accused me of keeping evidence against them. Mom, I’m no schemer — I’m just an actor, I only wanted to act. I tried to explain, shouting myself hoarse to prove my innocence, but he wouldn’t believe me. He said publicly he’d make me ‘shut up forever.’ At that moment, I knew my end had come...”
According to Yuan Cheng, host of the political channel Big Situation (大時局), Yu Menglong’s death was “highly suspicious,” and the trail now points directly to four members of the CCP Politburo Standing Committee — including Xi Jinping, Cai Qi, Zhao Leji, and a great-grandson of Li Peng. Yuan said: “The leaks indicate that the incident involves extreme violence, silencing operations, and hidden financial networks — all tied to elite corruption. The truth is likely far darker and deeper than most imagine.” Yuan added that the Xi family may have laundered 2 trillion yuan in military funds abroad — and that this is closely linked to the so-called “Prince.” He went on to claim that director Xin Qi and actor Cai Yijia (real name Cai Zhengjun) may be illegitimate sons of Politburo member Cai Qi, while Xin Qi himself is rumoured to be a distant relative of Xi Jinping. Even if that claim were false, Xin’s mother Tian Haiyan controls several private security firms in Hubei, and his aunt Tian Hairong — widow of the late tycoon Xu Ming — inherited a massive fortune, becoming a “female capital tycoon.” According to these reports, Zhao Leji and Cai Qi acted as behind-the-scenes conspirators and enforcers, orchestrating the cover-up. Posts and discussions questioning the case have been deleted, censored, or blocked, suggesting that powerful forces are suppressing the truth.
Yuan noted that the CCP’s heavy-handed censorship has only intensified public sympathy and outrage. What began as a demand to “clear Yu Menglong’s name” has now evolved into a national outcry against the corruption and moral decay of China’s ruling elite. “The scandals surrounding Xi Jinping’s faction have once again shaken the foundations of his rule,” Yuan said. “His political vitality has been severely damaged. The CCP’s legitimacy crisis is worsening by the day.”
On October 4, members of the Chinese Democracy Party (中國民主黨) gathered in front of the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles to demand justice for Yu Menglong. They shouted in unison: “Down with the Communist Party! Down with Xi Jinping!” They declared: “Every injustice has its culprit, every debt its debtor — the root lies in the Party-state itself! Only by overthrowing the CCP and rebuilding a republic can the Chinese people escape the clutches of tyranny.”
Analysts observed that Xi Jinping may never have anticipated that silencing a small-time celebrity would ignite a nationwide wave of anti-CCP and anti-Xi sentiment, potentially undermining his rule and leaving him without a path to recovery.
