白瀛, Bai Ying, chief reporter at Xinhua News Central News Center.

Reporting on Zhang Zhehan

On Dec 1, 2021, Xinhua Net published an article interviewing an unnamed CAPA representative and supporting their sanctions against immoral artists[1]. The two reporters listed on the article are 白瀛 Bai Ying and 王鹏 Wang Peng. It was shortly discovered that Bai Ying is also a member of the CAPA Ethics Committee, drawing into question the conflict of interest and the identity of the CAPA representative who was interviewed.


The same day, netizens discovered Bai Ying's Weibo account, which contains sexually suggestive posts as well as posts critical of China and the CCP. After these screenshots were posted on Weibo, Bai Ying changed his Weibo account name and hid all content in his account.


Throughout the latter half of 2021 and into 2022, Bai Ying has written a number of articles published by Xinhua News criticizing so-called "immoral" artists and supporting CAPA's authority in overseeing the ethics of artists in the entertainment industry.


Activities in Fandom

In August 2022, it was discovered that the MAC address of one of the devices used by a well-known "righteous passers-by", a Huawei Mate30 Pro, matches the device used to post to Bai Ying's WeChat public account. The account posted multiple times from an IP address associated with Xinhua's headquarters. All four of their accounts, as well as Bai Ying's account, follows 韩松 Han Song, a science fiction writer not involved in Zhang Zhehan's fandom and not followed by any fandom accounts. Han Song is also a reporter at Xinhua and director of the News Room, Bai Ying's colleague.


Dec 2021 to Jan 2022

The main account, 老年人真的不是故意的, first appeared on December 5th, 2021, claiming to be a retired CCDI official, and hinted heavily that it was run by a woman. The account gifted a large number of presents on Li Xuezheng's livestreams, an act that antis subsequently used to smear Li and accuse him of getting involved in Zhang Zhehan's case for personal profit. It became popular in the fandom for writing a long and sympathetic essay praising fans and declaring that it was willing to use its real identity to support Li (but never did so).

The account has called out every reporter associated with CAPA except Bai Ying himself.
