flag Chinese student Zhang Yadi vanished in July 2025 after returning to China; authorities investigate her on national security charges amid concerns over her human rights advocacy.

flag Chinese student Zhang Yadi, set to begin a Master’s program at SOAS, University of London, on a scholarship, disappeared in July 2025 after returning to China from France. flag Last seen in Shangri-La, Yunnan province, she has not been heard from since, with her WeChat showing unusual activity and her family’s statements appearing inconsistent. flag Authorities are reportedly investigating her on charges of 'endangering national security,' a broad legal term often used to suppress dissent. flag Her advocacy work related to Tibet and human rights, along with her multilingual skills, has drawn international attention. flag The case intensified on September 16 when human rights lawyer Jiang Tianyong, assisting her family, was briefly detained in Changsha before being released. flag Advocacy groups view her disappearance as part of a wider pattern targeting students and activists engaged in sensitive topics.
