Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Duan Weihong (Шаблон:Zh; pinyin: Duàn Wěihóng; b. December 29, 1966), also known as Whitney Duan, is a Chinese billionaire who was missing.[1][2] Prior to her arrest at Beijing’s Bulgari Hotel she owned, she was subject to a travel ban by the Chinese government. According to a 2018 report from The New York Times, Duan was detained in 2017, possibly in relation to an anti-corruption investigation into Sun Zhengcai, but there has been no official acknowledgement from the Chinese government.[3][4]

Duan, who was reported to be one of China’s wealthiest women, was known for her business dealings with former Chinese premier Wen Jiabao and particularly his wife, Zhang Peili.[5] In a memoir written by her ex-husband Desmond Shum titled Red Roulette, Duan is said to have fallen victim to the party’s use of "extralegal kidnappings" to facilitate opaque investigations.[6][1][7] However, in the book Shum states that arresting and holding suspected high-level criminals for unlimited time is legal in China; this especially applies to Communist Party members suspected of corruption by party investigators. In an interview with NPR, Shum stated that he had received a call from Duan urging him not to publish his book, a request that he said was made under duress.[8][9] She made several public appearances in 2023.[10]
