Zhang Ziyi Secretly Dates ‘Future Foreign Minister’? A Political Trap or an Affair Scandal?

The X account "Zhengjing Lu Shezhang" (政經魯社長)—known for repeatedly dropping remarkably accurate leaks about the inner workings of Beijing's power circles—has just posted a single, provocative question:
"A world-famous film star and a political star on Qin Gang's level have both fallen. What connection is there between them?"
The post came with just one photo.
Netizens immediately connected the dots: Liu Jianchao—former head of the CCP International Department and the leading contender to become China's next foreign minister—and Zhang Ziyi, one of China's most internationally renowned actresses.
