There’s Fang Fang, but what about Lang Lang? #China
2) I enjoyed his piano playing & knew the person hosting him in a city where he played. He’s a very ‘like-able’ person, and it didn’t seem odd that the ppl with him were weird about photos at dinner... until recently.
3) One of the ppl w/him was his ‘secret’ gf. Even tho the host never even posted photos of his own private life, Lang Lang’s “ppl” made sure to emphasize that no photos could be shared. (Honestly, I thought he was gay so I was confused🤷🏻‍♀️). Anyway-
4) He’s the perfect type of star to *possibly* also do CCP’s bidding. Most ppl in the west don’t give a second glance to a pianist. China could easily use him *anywhere*...& it looks like they have.
5) He played for O’s Nobel Prize ceremony & at the Whitehouse. One performance at the Whitehouse was wildly controversial...
6) At a Whitehouse state dinner Lang Lang played an anti-American CCP song for Obama & Hu Jintao...to thunderous applause! https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/song-and-obscenity-jay-nordlinger/
7) Lang Lang has played at numerous awards shows, performed for dignitaries, been a global ambassador for various companies, and partnered with Google & Youtube.
8) He’s been lauded by numerous western publications, appointed as a UNICEF International Goodwill Ambassador, is no stranger to the UN, played at Davos, and partnered with....Allianz?
9) Hollywood... no problem. One couple in particular were guests at his recent wedding...
10) They really are everywhere, aren’t they? But, so is Lang Lang...
11) At least he was... until 2017. 🧐
12) Ironically, Xi’s wife is a singer that he’s performed with in the past (she’s also affiliated with W[H]O).

+Xi’s wife, Hu Jintao, & Lang Lang+
13) Entertainers being used as spies isn’t a new concept... there are numerous accounts of entertainers that would use their celebrity to access ppl that others couldn’t w/o raising suspicion. They could freely travel and “hide in plain sight”...then deliver messages.
