Yao seemed to anticipate a backlash because of her background. Yao nor TH Entertainment responded to requests for comment.

Her media blitz was timed with her 23rd birthday, which was last Thursday, and has already landed her a fashion shoot in the Chinese edition of HarperвЂ™s Bazaar, a cover of OK and an appearance in an advertisement for Great Wall Motors. She has since signed with TH Entertainment, a promotion company based in Beijing. In the documentary, she said she вЂњkept trying different thingsвЂќ after feeling lost following graduation before devoting herself to this career path. Yao, who graduated from Harvard seven months ago, studied computer science and danced with the Harvard Ballet Company. вЂњThey have high demands on themselves,вЂќ he said of his children. In an interview in 2019, her tycoon father described his admiration for her demanding schedule with studies and ballet lessons - as many as 15 hours a week in middle school. Her globe-trotting was such that she recently had to fend off the Chinese news mediaвЂ™s questions about her nationality, saying she was born in Kunming, a city in southern China, and carries a Chinese passport. She traveled widely, living in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Britain, according to her own biographical descriptions. RenвЂ™s second marriage, unquestionably grew up in privilege, perhaps more than her older half siblings. It was a story that brought to the fore the concerns of a middle class increasingly facing economic hardship for the first time after decades of explosive economic growth. Public sympathy for the Huawei dynasty, however, slipped badly after a company employee was jailed for 251 days he had sued the company for a bonus and was jailed for disclosing commercial secrets, though the charges were eventually dropped. Chinese officials have portrayed her as an innocent victim of a highly politicized case to damage the company. MengвЂ™s fate throughout what has turned into a long extradition process has soured views toward the United States. Meng, who was for years the public face of the company, was detained in Canada in 2018 on an arrest warrant from the United States, where she faces charges of financial fraud related to evading sanctions against Iran. Huawei has become the focal point of a geopolitical battle between China and the United States as the Trump administration has sought to curtail the countryвЂ™s technological advances.

вЂњI donвЂ™t think she will influence society,вЂќ Ms. Singer? Dancer? Model? The documentary doesnвЂ™t really make it clear. YaoвЂ™s media blitz was anything but discreet. And judging from the public reaction, Ms. Not even Jack Ma, ChinaвЂ™s most famous and, until recently, richest entrepreneur, has been spared the governmentвЂ™s scorn.Дiscretion, not ostentation, has now become the norm when it comes to wealth. The list of ChinaвЂ™s wealthiest families added $1.5 trillion to their personal wealth over 2020, according to the Hurun Report, which tracks them.Д¬hinaвЂ™s increasingly powerful leader, Xi Jinping, has waged a campaign against corruption, jailing businessmen and officials who deviate from the Communist PartyвЂ™s vision, which he has repeatedly urged everyone to embrace. The pandemic has left the wealthiest even better off, in China as elsewhere, widening an already yawning gap between the haves and have-nots. In todayвЂ™s China, though, the mood seems to be shifting. In the go-go 1990s and 2000s, when the country opened up and let its economy blossom, the rest of society looked on in awe as these princelings posted videos of burning money or posing next to the family Lamborghini.
