I repeat. You have highlighted a position that has not existed until now. What we have had until now is networking, that is, adding points of view without any pedagogical interpretation (lecturing).

Maybe it makes more sense to start a topic (or continue an existing one) discussing what really goes on in China. Depite being in many ways the largest economy, the situation in China seems to be more or less a mystery for most people outside of China.
Thanks for posting the link. I watched the whole video you shared last time and clicked on the link she provided for this petition.
They are close to 500k and it's growing so fast: they received almost 50k signatures in 48h!!
But, even better news, for people who don't know much about the "fan culture" in China, it's quite incredible how much solidarity they exhibit in some instances, such as this event. For the past month, there has been massive boycott towards the 17 people listed as being present and/or participating in the murder. I've attached the name list as a Word file for anyone interested.
'Retribution Comes Fast': Yu Menglong’s Death Triggers Corporate Meltdown in China - Vision Times
The mysterious death of mainland Chinese actor Yu Menglong on Sept. 11 has continued to ignite international outrage and calls for accountability. Across
www.visiontimes.com
Published Oct 15, this source lists some of the consequences:
Across Chinese and overseas social media, millions of fans are demanding justice by boycotting concerts, television shows, and brands tied to Yu’s case. Within days, “Tianyu Media,” Yu’s management company, and its parent firm “Mango TV/Mango Super Media,” saw their stock prices crash and several executives abruptly resign. Netizens summed up the reaction with one phrase echoing across the internet: “Retribution came fast.”
(...)
In the days following the public backlash, “Tianyu Media” and “Mango Super Media” suffered steep sell-offs. According to “Sina Finance,” Mango’s stock price plunged 6.68 percent on Oct. 9 and another 5.12 percent on Oct. 10, wiping out more than ¥7.67 billion RMB (over USD $1 billion) in market value in just two days.
Mango Super Media’s own filings show investor confidence collapsing: As of Sept. 30, 2025, the number of shareholders had fallen to 37,900, down 15,400 from the previous month — a staggering 28.9 percent decline.
Soon after, resignations began rolling in. The company announced that Vice President Luo Zejun had formally stepped down and would no longer hold any position. Previously, Shen Yadong, Vice President and General Manager of Tianyu Media since 2020, also resigned citing “personal reasons.”
Among those targeted by public outrage is Fan Shiqi, one of the key suspects in the Yu Menglong case. His concert was canceled after selling only 15 tickets, and brands swiftly terminated his endorsement deals. New acting roles have dried up entirely, leaving his entertainment career effectively over.
The movement is no longer confined to the internet. According to the YouTube channel “Finance Cold Eye,” citizens have begun taking to the streets to protest against “Tianyu Media,” (...) On Oct. 8, a large LED screen at the entrance of Wuyue Plaza in Jiangsu played close-ups of Yu Menglong on loop, accompanied by the text “I am Yu Menglong.” On Bilibili, users reported similar displays in several other cities, with comments reading:
“We’re here on Oct 8 — never abandon, never yield.”
“One group, one cause. Together we fight, together we win.”
The wave of action has gone global, as Yu’s case continues to be reported by “Foreign Policy” (U.S.), “BBC” (U.K.), “The Straits Times” (Singapore), “CNA” (Taiwan), and “The Sydney Morning Herald”(Australia).
Of course there is something shady going on! I made that clear in my 1st post.
Thanks for the link: It shows this is going viral internationally! Her video was published less than 24h ago, and she already got 900k views and 5000k comments
Another thing that was on my mind... I was wondering if Yu's soul chose the path of martyrdom in order to raise awareness and bring justice/balance in this world. It's sure having a massive impact worldwide, and I bet the CCP is having a mental breakdown lol
I've been following this case from the beginning, and actually still have a draft of a new thread about it on the forum. But I decided to leave it and just wait and watch, because there was a lot of charged and conflicting information, while some of it was dismissed as fake. It is also possible to see that there is an agenda in spreading this kind of information, so better to approach with caution. Here are my thoughts.
Yes, the official police report said that it was a suicide and there was no criminal component, and the case is closed at the moment.
Also 10 days later the police detained 3 women who were spreading false allegations online.
www.straitstimes.com
The data they shared was picked up by the Western "anti-China" bloggers, and only some of them made their own research and proved the data to be fake. It includes voice and video recordings.
And it's true that Chinese officials were scraping a lot of data like this and deleting conversations. It could be a proof of censoring. Censoring is a very real thing in China, no point denying it, but sometimes it's important to understand the intent.
It could be hiding the truth, but it could also be preventing an intentional spreading of false information in order to instigate an unrest. Remember what the C's said about Chinese response during covid times. The measures were undeniably draconian, but they had a real reason behind them.
Yes, it's true. And in many cases artists and actors really suffer. There are no unions, and the entertainment world in China resembles old times Hollywood, where you are a sort of a slave to the agency if you want to become a star. There are all kind of situations, really. Some are better, some are worse.
If you want to learn more about this, look into Zhao Lusi and how her agency treated her. She is considered to be one of the leading actresses in China, but she had a breakdown due to being overworked (probably even a stroke).
It's also true that there are exceptions. For example, Liu Yuning is not tied up with any agency and still manages. He is considered a unicorn in Chinese ET world. Probably because of his background. He doesn't come from "showbiz" environment. If you are interested, you can watch a video, starting from this particular time stamp. This lady worked in China ET business, so she knows how it works from inside. She explains how the actors world and education in China work, and why Liu Yuning is unique and is able to hold his own.
Yes, things like this definitely happen. I saw a video where a Chinese young starting male actor described things similar to what many actors described about how things worked in Hollywood.
It's important to note that social media in China is like a jungle, especially when it comes to all kind of celebrity news, and all kind of hidden camera videos, or any sort of data. Absolutely everything can be faked, AI generated in a very skilled way. There are constantly all kind of scandals going on, or paparazzi images shared, or pictures taken by crazy fans. Not to mention fan fiction about celebrities that can be presented in a very convincing way.
So it's not possible to say for sure that these videos are real. As I mentioned above, I looked into it for awhile and saw videos that explained that various recordings were dismissed as fakes, because later they were proven to be recordings of some other event from the covid times, and another video was dismissed because the time stamp on it didn't correspond to the "timeline" that was made by the Chinese or other "netizens", and then shared everywhere.
I stopped following it closely because I saw that various English speaking channels were repeating all kind of information, including the info that was proven as fake, so there was no point looking into it, since it is apparent that they didn't do their own independent research. And I didn't have time to find the ones who actually make an effort and their own research.
It would be so awesome if we had someone who spoke Chinese, who could actually spend time looking at the original discussions to see what they really said and shared. But then it would also take a lot of time. It would be a colossal effort by now.
This is very true. It is actually true to every country and every corner on this planet. There is no country on this planet that has no negative and dark things happening there. I think it is very important to remember. Yes, it's important to expose it, just like it's important to expose what Israel is doing, for example.
But considering my own personal perspective based on where I come from (in this case Russia), I am weary of the so called "opposition fighters" or "truth spreader" YT channels, because they could be funded by someone from the West, just like in case of Navalny in Russia. And they are the ones who create and share myriad of "justice to Yu Menglong" videos.
Navalny and co. often shared somewhat accurate information, but with their own slant. Or they took information that could be interpreted in different ways, and chose to interpret it in their own way. What they said rang true because there IS corruption in Russia, and a lot of things ARE happening, no doubt about it. But their INTENT was to subvert and prepare the ground for color revolution. That's why they got funds from their masters.
Personally I wouldn't dismiss geopolitics. You spent a lot of time at compiling various data and was able to present that there are supposed connections to other killings/murders/accidents. But only now these events are being shared and are gaining momentum. And it's possible to see that in the West they are being heavily promoted by the "anti-China" English speaking bloggers.
I saw videos that even mentioned supposed connection between Kirk assassination and CCP in relation to Yu Menglong murder. The same bloggers say that this scandal is China's 9/11, and it could be the final straw to topple the CCP. It's like they are firing in all directions and hope that some of them will hit.
There are a lot of things happening now related to China, so it's not impossible to presume that certain parties would take one event and would run with it and use it to present a certain idea, optics, etc. In Russia it is called "loosen a screw". As in, sooner or later it would fall.
My final thoughts are that I really hope that this case of a horrible abuse and torture is a fabrication. It is still very sad if it is a "simple" suicide case. Because it is still a tragedy. Maybe that's why I prefer to be cautious for now, because the alternative is so disturbing and so dark, it really bothers me. It's also very possible that there were some shady things going on. That it isn't a simple suicide. That he was "helped" in some way. I am not questioning any of that.
What I find questionable is the intent behind sharing all this information in the way it is being shared on all the "opposition" YT channels. The information that is being shared is so horrific that most of the comments are very emotional (naturally). It's a normal emotional response. But considering how things work in our world, especially online, it's best to consider that it could be intentional in order to illicit strong emotional response that could be modified/manipulated to fit whatever purposes .
There is no doubt that such things are happening in our world all the time. But there are also a lot of questionable things happening, so better to keep this in mind. Maybe it's worth asking the C's about, don't know.
Yes, the official police report said that it was a suicide and there was no criminal component, and the case is closed at the moment.

In any country (under whatever the label that was sold to the masses - democracy/dictatorship, capitalism/communism or some where in between) power corrupts and absolute power corrupts more. The showbiz business naturally attracts lot of psychos. If that is the way it happened in China ( every body has to go through agencies, shell companies for money laundering under some celebrity name, some corrupt party leaders expecting percentages and so on), it won't be exclusive to China. It happened much worst way in the West, though it is supposed to be free society, democracy and so on. All this 9 yards of Zionism, Epstein, pedophilia and funding the entire establishment through banks for decades exist for a long time in the Western world.
It is quite possible some form of it is happening in China too and this incident triggered Chinese normies and decided to do what is in their hand (boycotting these celebrities). That introduces damage control, triggers forces against China and most in-between normies who tries to figure out themselves naturally tries to fill the gap. In this incident, it is the normal Chinese reaction and govt. banning related events (like strange cloud phenomenon, storms etc.) is indicative of Crime. I don't mean to judge (all or nothing) based on the single incident, but this incident seems to pale to what is happening in the west.
I found the following insightful.
