Lanlan Yang fuels speculation on Chinese media and Sydney streets after crowds from the Chinese community gathered outside court to see her
On Friday Yang appeared via video at Sydney's Downing Centre where close to 100 members of the Chinese community gathered outside John Madison Tower, many eager for even a fleeting sight of her.
She appeared wearing a branded black suit and a bucket hat.
Yang was not in a position to enter a plea according to her lawyer Mr Yu and revealed she may be facing fresh charges signalled by police.
Her wealth, lack of digital presence, and luxury lifestyle continue to stir fevered speculation with Friday's crowd only deepening suspicions.
A Chinese Australian who was present in the crowds described Yang's alleged links to a high ranking Chinese official and told News.com.au: "She is from a big family, top leaders in China".
"Many people believe she's from a political bureau members family," he continued.
Yang became widely known after July 26 this year when her Rolls Royce SUV, worth more than $1 million AUD, crashed into a Mercedes.
The Mercedes was driven by George Plassaras, the chauffeur of radio host Kyle Sandilands, who suffered severe injuries including a broken spine, hips, ribs and femurs, while Yang walked away unhurt and tested positive for alcohol.
Her absence from platforms like Instagram or LinkedIn has only heightened curiosity, with Chinese users dubbing her 'Celestial Dragon Girl' in reference to an untouchable class of characters in the anime One Piece .
Rumours portray her as everything from an heiress to a vast fortune to someone connected with high profile politicians or business dynasties, while others whisper about shadowy iron ore deals, though most claims remain unsubstantiated and on Chinese Little Red Book.
As the legal case moves forward, public focus continues to drift from the courtroom to the enigma of Lanlan Yang, with the Chinese Australian community fuelling speculation that she is tied to a senior Chinese figure.
Yang's bail conditions forbid her from driving and require her to remain inside her penthouse between 8pm and 6am, with her next appearance scheduled for September 26, 2025.

Beijing accuses Australia of fabricating Chinese espionage threat
Beijing has accused Australia of fabricating the threat of espionage – after a Chinese woman was charged with foreign interference in Canberra. In a statement, China's Ministry of State Security labelled itself as an innocent victim being accused of 'unfounded claims' about foreign spying. It went on to say in recent years, Beijing had uncovered several Australian-instigated spies and 'acted in accordance with the law' to protect its sovereignty. The statement also suggested some figures in Canberra don't want to see a healthy relationship with China.

China hits back at ASIO over spying claims
Beijing has hit back at Australian claims China is spying on Australia, saying the accusations were 'groundless' and accusing Australian intelligence agencies of operating in China. China's Ministry of State Security on Friday released a statement via its official WeChat account, appearing to take issue with recent events in Australia, including a major speech by ASIO boss Mike Burgess. 'Australian intelligence agencies advocated the 'serious threat' posed by foreign espionage activities to Australia, and even packaged themselves as innocent 'victims' in groundless accusations of 'Chinese espionage threat',' the Chinese ministry's statement said. 'In recent years, China's state security organs have successively cracked a number of espionage cases against China instigated by Australian intelligence agencies in accordance with the law, effectively safeguarding China's sovereignty, security and development interests.' The statement comes just a month after Prime Minister Anthony Albanese undertook a six-day state visit to China, as his government seeks to normalise relations with Beijing after several tense years. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met with Chinese President Xi Jinping during his official visit to China in July.

Mr Burgess revealed ASIO had disrupted 24 'major espionage and foreign interference' operations in the past three years alone. 'Nation states are spying at unprecedented levels, with unprecedented sophistication,' he said. 'ASIO is seeing more Australians targeted – more aggressively – than ever before.' While AUKUS and military technology secrets were targets, Australia's intellectual property and cutting edge research was also in the sights of foreign agents. And earlier this month, the Australian Federal Police charged a Chinese national with reckless foreign interference after she was allegedly tasked by China to spy on a Canberra Buddhist group. China has taken a swipe at claims by ASIO boss Mike Burgess that Beijing is actively spying in Australia.

The crime carries a maximum penalty of 15 years imprisonment. Mr Burgess said at the time he was proud of the significant contribution ASIO had made on the matter. 'Foreign interference of the kind alleged is an appalling assault on Australian values, freedoms and sovereignty,' Mr Burgess said. 'In this year's annual threat assessment, I called out these types of activities and put perpetrators on notice by stating, 'we are watching, and we have zero tolerance'. 'Anyone who thinks it is acceptable to monitor, intimidate and potentially repatriate members of our diaspora communities should never underestimate our capabilities and resolve.'
