Yue Xin (Chinese: 岳昕; born c. 1996) is a Chinese student activist and graduate from Peking University who disappeared on 23 August 2018,[1] following her participation in the Jasic labour dispute.[2] A Marxist and feminist, she was known for her advocacy of labour and women's rights prior to her disappearance.[3]
In April 2018, Yue led #MeToo-inspired protests against Peking University's attempted cover up of sexual assault allegations made against their staff.[4][5] Later that year, she joined striking workers at the Jasic Technology plant in Shenzhen and became a leading member of the Jasic Workers Solidarity Group.[6][7] Yue disappeared shortly afterwards and was last heard from in January 2019, when Guangdong police circulated a video of her confessing to various crimes and denouncing her own activism.[8][9]
BBC News described Yue as one of China's most influential left-wing activists of 2018.[2]
