Minister of Culture concealed “naked official” Feng Ying of Central Ballet Troupe

The annual “Two Sessions” parliamentary meetings (National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference) are in session. Many officials who would be coming to Beijing were caught up in the 2014 anti-corruption campaign carried out by Xi Jinping and Wang Qishan. One of them is NPC delegate Feng Ying of Shanghai, director of the Central Ballet Troupe. She is the subject of a report that she’s a “naked official,” a term for public officials who send their families and their funds from graft or corruption overseas where they can’t be reached by the Chinese government.

This year at least 34 NPC deputies and nine CPPCC national committee members won’t attend the two sessions. Over the past year, illness and other factors claimed the lives of six NPC deputies. Five died of illness, one committed suicide, and 27 NPC deputies and CPPCC national committee members were stripped of their status because of disciplinary reasons or violations of the law.

In December 2014, an inspection team in the Ministry of Culture received a report that Minister of Culture Cai Wu used his official powers to deliberately conceal Feng Ying’s naked-official status to the Central Organization Department during the nationwide campaign to purge such people from government.

It is understood that, when she was deputy head of the Central Ballet in 2009, Feng Ying was promoted to be the director of the Central Ballet Troupe by the Ministry of Culture. Feng Ying only has a high school education. Her background is as a ballerina. Her husband and children have all moved to the United States. Feng Ying also has a U.S. green card, and every year she visits the U.S. on official business or makes personal trips.
