Zhang Yiming Denies Singapore Citizenship Rumors
张一鸣否认新加坡国籍传闻
ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming has not obtained Singaporean citizenship, according to Douyin, refuting a report from Singapore’s Lianhe Zaobao. The newspaper had claimed Zhang, 42, became a Singaporean citizen, but later removed the article. Despite stepping down from corporate roles, Zhang is still considered ByteDance’s key decision-maker. His nationality remains a sensitive topic in China, where the status of wealthy entrepreneurs is closely watched.
字节跳动创始人张一鸣并未获得新加坡国籍，抖音对此作出澄清，驳斥了新加坡《联合早报》的相关报道。该报曾称 42 岁的张一鸣已成为新加坡公民，但随后删除了文章。尽管张一鸣已卸任公司职务，但仍被视为字节跳动的核心决策者。在中国，富豪的国籍问题备受关注，这一传闻也引发了广泛讨论。
