Mystery around Fu Xiaotian

In July 2023, as Qin's disappearance seized worldwide attention, interest was also growing in an April 10 post on X by Fu. The post included a picture of her holding a baby on board an airplane and a caption saying she had been on the same plane a year earlier for a flight to Washington, where she interviewed Qin.




At first, it wasn't clear whether the airplane featured prominently in her post was a commercial or private jet. But later photos Fu posted on social media confirmed that it was a private jet.




According to Federal Aviation Administration records, the Gulfstream G650ER N333GW has Rolls-Royce engines and 22 seats. Its current owner is listed as Salt Lake City-based Bank of Utah Trustee. An X user with the handle itweetcatsndogs also found linkage between the jet and Sino Jet, a Beijing and Hong Kong-based aircraft leasing and operating company.

Online flight tracking records show that the jet flew from Los Angeles, California, and landed in Beijing on April 11 before traveling on to Hong Kong.

Dreyer told VOA that she finds it "definitely unusual" for Fu to be flown in a private jet both for work when she interviewed Qin, and when she and her son flew back to Beijing and/or Hong Kong last April.

"If Ms. Fu isn't independently wealthy, then someone, or some people, are subsidizing her," Dreyer said, noting that Fu's connections might be above Qin's pay grade.

"There's definitely something fishy about this story," she told VOA.

In an investigative report last September, CNN said it had spoken to people who knew Fu and they said Fu's mother was a teacher in her hometown, Chongqing, while her father worked in a managerial position at a production facility. Experts interviewed by CNN also raised questions about Fu's identity as it came to light that the coastal mansion where Fu stayed in Los Angeles was listed for rent at $55,000 a month in 2021.

傅晓田女士毕业于剑桥大学丘吉尔学院教育学专业，她资助学院回报教育。学院决定以傅晓田的名字来命名学院的花园，以示对傅晓田成就和贡献的认可。“傅晓田花园”的正式命名仪式定于2016年6月10日在剑桥大学丘吉尔学院举行。

傅晓田是一名优秀的记者。她现在凤凰卫视主持《风云对话》节目，专访世界各国领袖。事业有成，傅晓田决定回馈母校，为年轻学生提供更多的场地设施及学业资助。傅晓田的捐赠距毕业时间之短、跨地域之远，令人感佩。

In 2016 — years before Qin's disappearance — Fu had made headlines in the U.K. for making a large donation to Cambridge University.

"I have no idea what happened there, I can't explain it," admitted Inkster, who now advises the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies on China and directs geostrategic and intelligence-related analysis at Enodo Economics.

"But it's quite clear that somebody else was putting up the funding for that. There's no way Fu Xiaotian herself could have done it," Inkster said.

Something else that puzzles observers is the fact that Cambridge University's Churchill College went out of its way to name a garden after Fu. The college's website says that was done in connection with "a series of generous gifts" Fu pledged in 2016.
