Investigative reporter Liu Hu wrote on September 29 that Wang Yufeng, the whistleblower in the case of Huawel Microelectronics' illegal and non-compliant information disclosure, was taken away by Jilin police from Shanghai in November 2022 and has been detained for nearly four years. The case has entered the CSRC's proposed whistleblower reward list; as of September 23, the trial had lasted a cumulative 107 days, and several of Wang Yufeng's sealed companies have become substantively bankrupt.

According to a report by Liu Hu, Wang Yufeng continuously reported Hao Jun, the former head of the economic crime investigation unit who handled his case, while in detention. Materials from another case presented at trial showed that Hao Jun had accepted a 20 million yuan bribe from Xia Zengwen, chairman of Huawai Electronics. Hao Jun has already been sentenced to 13 years and 8 months for accepting bribes.
