Zhang Xue suddenly changed his statement that he would not donate the championship car auction funds to the Han Hong Foundation for “1 reason”.

zhang zhu motorcycle Founder Zhang Xue originally said that he would attend the carnival event on November 22auction champion number 53race and donated the proceeds to the Han Hong Charity Foundation, but on November 10, he changed his mind and said that he would not donate to the Han Hong Foundation. “Some things happened later and I have some doubts in my heart,” he said. However, he did not specify specific suspicions. The Han Hong Foundation responded today by saying that “public welfare comes from voluntarism” and respects donors’ choices. “Zhang Zu changed his tune” instantly became a hot search topic. Some netizens supported Zhang Xue’s viewpoint, saying, “Donations should not go into private pockets.” Others questioned Zhang Xue’s approach, calling it a major blow to the foundation’s credibility.

According to IT House, Zhang Xue publicly stated at the championship car replica delivery ceremony on May 21 this year that the No. 53 real car and trophy driven by Debs will be auctioned at the end of the season, and all the proceeds will be donated to the Han Hong Charity Foundation.

But on November 10, he posted a video reversing the above commitment and announced that the auction would be held as usual at Carnival on November 22. However, all auction proceeds and ticket sales will be used to support the development of young Chinese drivers. If funding is sufficient, it could also create a European training and promotion channel for young drivers.

Zhang Xue also explained: “I previously promised to auction my real racing car to donate to a certain charity foundation, but something happened later. In fact, there were some doubts in my heart, which means that the previous promise was invalid.”

Public opinion generally believes that the change in Zhang Xue’s words may be related to the numerous public controversies and financial transparency questions that occurred at the Beijing Hanhong Charity Foundation from late June to August 2026. In August this year, Han Hong Foundation was reported for its ambulance procurement project, involving disputes over the qualifications of partners and the purchase price. The supplier was placed on file for investigation and no findings have yet been made; The foundation’s disclosed monthly donation income in the third quarter of 2026 fell by more than 40% compared to the previous two quarters.

However, Zhang Xue did not clearly express his suspicions about these events, and the causal relationship between the two has not been confirmed.

Zhang Xue’s reneging on his promise aroused differing opinions from netizens. Supporters believe that donations are purely personal freedom, and donations do not go into private pockets, but rather directly support the “more practical implementation” of domestic racing youth training. Some people even suggested that Zhang Xue simply establish his own charity foundation.

Questioners pointed out that making a public commitment and then retracting it in a high-profile manner, raising “questions” without providing evidence, would be a major blow to the Foundation’s credibility, and could also erode Zhang Xue’s own public trust. Other netizens asked that individual-led funding projects also need transparent supervision and disclosure.

Legal experts say that even if a public donation commitment is not signed in writing, it can still constitute a donation contract. According to charity law, the Foundation has the right to demand delivery. As for Zhang Xue’s so-called “inner doubt”, it is generally difficult to constitute a statutory exemption; However, the foundation has said that it respects the option and that the real possibility of prosecution is low.
