Who Is Yang Lanlan?

Yang wears luxury-branded clothes, drives a Rolls-Royce, and lives in an ocean-view penthouse in Sydney, yet there is almost no information about her available online.

Widespread speculation about her identity went viral all over Chinese social media, with many believing the theory that she is a descendant of a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader.

On Aug. 15, during the first hearing of the case, over 100 people crowded into the Downing Centre in Sydney, hoping to catch a glimpse of Yang, who only appeared via video.

On Aug. 18, Sheng Xue, a Canada-based journalist and pro-democracy activist, posted on X that Yang was seen visiting Qi Xin, the mother of CCP leader Xi Jinping, in Shenzhen Guest House, a hotel specifically for hosting high-ranking CCP officials and important foreign dignitaries.

“On the night of March 8, 2025, Yang Lanlan flew from Sydney to Hong Kong. Three cars were sent to pick her up at the airport, and she directly got into a Lexus Alphard minivan. She did not stop in Hong Kong but went straight to Shenzhen, where she checked into Shenzhen Guest House and met her [alleged] grandmother, Qi Xin, who resembles her and dotes on her,” reads the post in Chinese.

In later interviews with Vision Times and People News, Sheng Xue claimed that her source is reliable.

She added the fact that Yang was allegedly able to directly meet with Xi’s mother proves that she is an important member of the Xi family and “most likely Xi Jinping’s illegitimate daughter.”

“Over a billion people in China are desperately struggling to survive, while the CCP and its descendants have already drained China dry and fled far away,” she said in another X post.

To date, Yang has not made any public statements regarding the car accident, nor expressed concern for the injured party.
