According to reports by China’s People’s Daily, singer-actor Kris Wu Yifan who holds Canadian citizenship has been sentenced to 13 years in prison and deportation.
On November 25, Beijing Chaoyang People’s Court disclosed the details on defendant Wu Yifan’s case. He has been sentenced to eleven years and six months in prison for the crime of rape as well as subsequent deportation. He has also been sentenced to one year and ten months in prison for the crime of “group licentiousness”. As combined punishment for the crimes, he has to serve a 13-year-sentence before being deported.
It was found through the trial that from November to December 2020, the defendant, Wu Yifan, took advantage of three drunken women who did not know how to resist or could not resist and forced them to have sex in his residence. On July 1, 2018, Wu Yifan together with two other women engaged in promiscuous activities at his residence after drinking. Chaoyang People’s Court held that Wu Yifan’s actions constitute the crimes of rape and “group licentiousness” and should be punished according to law.
Kris Wu who turned 32 on November 6 shot up to fame as part of the South Korean boy group EXO before focusing on a career in China. Last year, a woman named Du Meizhu launched a string of accusations against Kris Wu that exploded into a huge scandal when more alleged victims came forward. He was detained on July 31, 2021 and formally arrested on August 16, 2021.
Update: On November 25, Chinese media also reported that Wu Yifan has evaded taxes. China’s tax bureau aims to recover the unpaid taxes as well as late charges and fines amounting to 600 million yuan (approx 84 million USD).

There you have it! Finally some definitive answer about whether or not he’s guilty. But I’m sure his fan girls will still be in denial and claim he’s being made an example out of the CCP.
neen
Dang, when he’s released, he’ll be 45ish…I wonder how his fangirls would like him then. Justice has been served.
Anon
Even if the court find him guilty of all charges, his fangirls never accept it, claiming that its all CCP ploy to bring him down.
I even saw comments how his trial was unfair because there was no news about his trial and how he shouldn’t receive the sentence because he just “slept with few drunk girls ” or he didn’t kill, steal or defraud anyone.
Reading those comments really made my blood run cold, thinking how thick their filter is and how they don’t consider rape victims, a victim.

Once when I question someone who said he been frame and he IS innocent on YouTube… some one call me nuts and mindless people’s that corrupting everyone’s else thinking and one day me too will have my comeuppance !!!! speechless 😓

Finally!!!

Because he’s a Canadian this is more of a political case to get back at Canada for kidnapping Huawei CFO. When China finally gets the payback, they will claim, look you’re doing this because I’m White and I’m from Canada. Then China can say, look Chris Wu is Chinese (but Canadian) and he had it much worse than u!!
BTW, I wouldn’t worry too much about Chris Wu. Anyone ever seen Fist of Legend with Jet Li? At the end of the movie, they publicly executed him, but actually swapped his body with another person. I suspect Chris Wu will be treated very harshly publicly by the CCP simply because his case has political value in paying back Canada. BUT in reality, he might be treated much nicer, like imprisoned in a five-star hotel (paid out of his pocket of course) for 13 years instead of being confined to maximum prison. Chinese don’t fight Chinese, If I was CCP I’d surely apply double standards when actually dealing with Chinese Canadians vs White Canadians…
Anon
if the part where he will serve his sentence in a 5-Star like prison is true, that this is kind of giving a huge slap to the face for his victims. But then, anything can happen with CCP, they probably will even release him early for “good behaviour ” or something

You have been watching too much dramas. There is nothing political in sex crimes. You could maybe spin some stories about allegations of spying etc. But not sex crimes which have been proven. He will be treated the same as all other criminals.
And there is absolutely zero political value in Kris Wu. Did you even hear of the Canadian authorities raising a protest over his 1.5 years detention and now sentencing to 13 years jail-time? Yeah, the Canadian embassy attended his court hearings too.
P/S : Epstein, the serial child raper only got 13 months. What kind of justice was that?
Melon Eater
Second you. What is political about this case? Nothing. It’s about justice.
Also, looks like there are also allegations on the Canadian side. Once he served his sentence and deported from China he’ll likely face the music there too.
Melon is the best
Yeah. I don’t understand why everything related to China is always connected to some political conspiracy theory about CCP. Yes, it’s a scary party that rules with iron fist but so many people describe it as some nefarious most evil organization drenched in blood as if many western governments don’t do the same things, some even way worse. It’s honestly sinophobia.

If you look at modern history objectively, the CCP has much less blood on its hands than many of the western countries who preach human rights and freedom. And if you study the modern political systems of the US and other western nations and China objectively, you will find that China’s system is more people’s interests centered than the US or other western nations.
Maxi
I mean, this is just objectively not true. Look at the millions that died in the Great Leap Forward. I agree that the CCP is doing the right thing in this Kris Wu case, but don’t distort the reality. The CCP has tons of blood on their hands, does it not count because it was their own Chinese people?
Melon Eater
First of all, the name is Community Party of China, CPC. Get it correct. Why do people keep calling it by the incorrect Western name?
Which country doesn’t have flood on their hands? None. Every country and government is guilty at one time or another. It doesn’t put what the western government has done for the last 40-50 years is not comparable to countries before or after. We are talking about this moment in time. Who is the one running around the world couping governments? Who has hundreds of military stations around the world? Who’s still occupying some countries in the middle east? If you can answer these questions, then there’s no need for your answer.

*blood

Gosh. What is wrong with these autocorrect.
*Communist Party of China.

Of course the west has done grotesque atrocities and continues to do so. No one is questioning that. But it is ridiculous to paint China as a more peaceful country than any western one. Forget the past, fine. Let’s talk about what China is doing currently to the Uyghurs, Tibetans, and Hongkongers. It’s not pretty. No country is perfect, stop trying to hide China’s atrocities behind the atrocities of another country. Shameful.
Anon
Goodness, where in the thread did anyone compare the “peacefulness” of countries? Great deflection technique. Nobody ever said that there were no problems. Which country has no problems? But no one is vilifying other countries like they automatically vilify China, just because the name “China” pops up.
You just bring up a few key words like Uyghurs, Tibetans & Hongkongers.
You obviously did not study deeper into the real issues and who was causing them and was just regurgitating what you watched or read in western media which has been shown and even admitted to spinning outright lies.
Or maybe, you are one of those HK rioters who wrecked public property and killed civilians? Or maybe a previous Uyghur islamist terrorist who massacred hundreds of civilians? Or maybe a Tibetan landowner who lost your herd of Tibetan slaves? Hoping to keep your cause alive when so much has already been debunked with real facts.

He’s guilty, and he got charged. Period. The entertainment industry is a swamp. He might be a traffic star in China, but you think Canada cares about him? Don’t make your idol seem like he’s some kind of political martyr. He also didn’t have it much “worse”. The minimum sentencing for r@pe is 10 years, and he got 11.5 years. The idea that he’s staying in a 5 star hotel is also ridiculous. You think the government care about his comfort? lol. As someone who grew up and lives in the US, the government here is no better. They’re worse in different ways.
Wowo
Justice has been served!! I was never a fan and think he is overrated.
Ginglekitty
This sentencing says more about Chinese government than Chris Wu. He needs to fire his attorney, appeal the decision and have the country of his origin support him by demanding his release. Who actually believes an influencer who is a minor? Where were her parents while she insisted to go to a hotel room to sleep with him? What happened to consesual sex not being ilegal?
Anon
So you are one of those who wants the victim of a rape to prove that she did not in anyway tempt the rapist to rape? And a minor should not be believed just because she’s under 18? More than a dozen others came forward to give their testimonies. Do you even know anything about the case? Consensual sex? You know that there is such a thing called “statutory rape”, regardless of whether she actually consented or not, if she’s below a certain age? Do you even know there is such a thing called “law” ?
His country of origin did not protest his detention, his trial or his conviction. In fact, the Canadian embassy was in full attendance. Seems like you are also one of those who think you can commit crimes in another country and be entitled to get away with it just because you are a foreigner?
Maybe I am not a charitable person, but I hope that one day, you would become the mother of such a teenager who pays absolutely no respect for you or your words.
