Yao Rong

Yao Rong is the daughter of Yao Qing and the granddaughter of Yao Yilin, former member of the CCP Politburo Standing Committee and Vice Premier of the State Council.

Her father, Yao Qing (born October 26, 1976), is one of Yao Yilin’s sons, while her mother’s identity has not been publicly disclosed. Her grandfather, Yao Yilin, was a key figure in China’s economic leadership, overseeing financial and economic affairs at the national level and serving as a member of the 13th Politburo Standing Committee. Her grandmother, Hong Shouzi (1918–2007), was Yao Yilin’s second wife.

Within her extended family, Yao Rong has several notable relatives: her eldest aunt, Yao Mingrui (1945–2009), served as a researcher in the Development Department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation; her aunt’s husband, Sun Fengshan, had both a military and business background.

As a third-generation member of a prominent political family, Yao Rong has maintained an extremely low profile. There is little to no public information regarding her education, career, or social activities. Public awareness of her primarily stems from her family ties rather than her own achievements.
