TREE NEWS update: Yuewan Nianqing said in a filing that online claims linking chairman and president Ou Xiantao to a passenger confrontation on China Eastern flight MU6741 on Sept. 28 are false. The company said Ou never boarded the flight and called the rumors malicious fabrication harming his reputation and its commercial goodwill. Ou has filed a police report, which was accepted, and the company is preserving evidence and will pursue legal liability against those spreading the claims.
Yuewan Nianqing Denies Chairman Involved in Flight Confrontation, Files Police Report
The company's response is notably aggressive for a rumor denial — a police report and evidence preservation signal it sees reputational risk with real commercial stakes, not just idle gossip. The claim's specificity, tying a named executive to a dated flight, is the kind that spreads fast in Chinese retail investor circles, where governance and management conduct already weigh on sentiment. Whether authorities act on the report, and whether the source of the claim surfaces, is the open question.
