Yuan Yang (politician)

Yuan Yang (Chinese: 楊緣; born 1990)[1] is a British-Chinese Labour Party politician, economist and journalist serving as Member of Parliament for Earley and Woodley since 2024.

[5] She studied for a bachelor's degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Balliol College, Oxford, graduating in 2011 with first-class honours.

[14] She has served as deputy Beijing bureau chief for the FT, and covered China's technology sector and economy.

[18] Yang explained that part of her motivation for standing as a candidate derived from witnessing "the damage austerity has done to our community" in the area.

Before she was an MP, Yang backed the rights of Hongkongers in the United Kingdom and was critical of the Chinese government's 2020 Hong Kong national security law.
