She is nicknamed by the media as the "Ivory Queen".[1][2][3] BiographyYang was born in Beijing, China in 1949. She graduated from the Beijing Foreign Studies University, where she majored in Swahili. In 1975, she was assigned to Tanzania, where she worked as a translator in the construction of the TAZARA Railway, linking Zambia's landlocked copper belt with Tanzania's coast, at the time China's most significant African investment. After the project, she returned to China.[4] In 1998, she returned to Tanzania and set up two businesses in Dar es Salaam: Beijing Restaurant and Beijing Great Wall Investment. The restaurant has been successful.[1] She also served as vice-chairwoman and secretary-general of the China-Africa Business Council of Tanzania.[4] Yang started smuggling ivory in 2006. Until her arrest in October 2015, she smuggled up to {{convert|1900|kg}} of ivory, worth about 5.4 billion Tanzanian shillings (US$2.7 million), making her one of the largest ivory smugglers in Africa.[4][5] Most of the elephant tusks were smuggled and sold to Asia.[9] Yang was arrested in October 2015. In February 2019, she and two Tanzanian men, Salivius Matembo and Manase Philemon, were each sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment for "leading an organised criminal gang" by the Tanzanian court.[6][7][8][9] Her properties were ordered to be confiscated.[6] She has appealed her sentence. In reaction to her conviction, the Chinese Foreign Ministry issued a public statement supporting the court decision and condemning illegal activities of Chinese nationals abroad.[10] Personal lifeYang has a daughter named Fei, which is short for "Feizhou", the Chinese word for Africa.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news |title=Who is the 'Ivory Queen'? |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-36203798 |accessdate=20 February 2019 |work=BBC}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Yang, Fenglan}}2. ^{{cite news |author1=Ailin Tang |title=China's 'Ivory Queen' in court for smuggling more than 700 tusks |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/19/chinas-ivory-queen-in-court-for-smuggling-more-than-700-tusks/ |accessdate=20 February 2019 |work=telegraph |date=19 June 2016}} 3. ^{{cite news|author= |url=https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/business/2016/06/downfall-yang-fenglan-ivory-queen |title=The downfall of Yang Fenglan, the “Ivory Queen” |work=newstatesman.com |date=8 June 2016 |language=}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite news|author= |url=http://news.sohu.com/20151009/n422800243.shtml |script-title=zh:中国女商人被控非洲最大规模象牙犯罪 |work=Sohu |date=2015-10-09 |language=zh}} 5. ^{{cite news |author1=Zhang Yi |title='Queen of Ivory' faces charge in Tanzania |url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2015-10/10/content_22147299.htm |accessdate=20 February 2019 |work=Chinadaily |date=10 October 2015}} 6. ^1 {{cite news |title=Chinese 'Ivory Queen' Yang Fenglan jailed in Tanzania |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-47294715 |accessdate=20 February 2019 |work=BBC}} 7. ^{{cite news |author1=MERRIT KENNEDY |title=Chinese 'Ivory Queen' Sentenced To 15 Years In Jail In Tanzania |url=https://www.npr.org/2019/02/19/696038515/chinese-ivory-queen-sentenced-to-15-years-in-jail-in-tanzania |accessdate=20 February 2019 |work=npr |date=19 February 2019}} 8. ^{{cite news|author= |url=http://news.ifeng.com/c/7kQurBNzjjX |script-title=zh:外媒：“象牙女王”杨凤兰因走私在坦桑尼亚被判15年 |work=ifeng |date=2019-02-20 |language=zh}} 9. ^{{cite news |title=Chinese ‘Ivory Queen’ Yang Fenglan jailed in Tanzania |url=https://clubofmozambique.com/news/chinese-ivory-queen-yang-fenglan-jailed-in-tanzania/ |accessdate=20 February 2019 |work=Clubofmozambique |date=19 February 2019}} 10. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2186997/beijing-backs-jail-term-chinese-ivory-queen-yang-fenglan-tanzania|title=Beijing backs jail term for Chinese ‘Ivory Queen’ in Tanzania|date=2019-02-20|website=South China Morning Post|language=en|access-date=2019-02-20}} 10 : 1949 births|Chinese women in business|Living people|Beijing Foreign Studies University alumni|Chinese smugglers|Businesspeople from Beijing|Restaurant founders|Women restaurateurs|Chinese restaurateurs|Wildlife smuggling |
