It's likely not the same Fang Fang. The name is apparently not uncommon in China. For example, the author of the Wuhan Diaries expose' was named Fang Fang. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-54987675
The NY Post speculates the honeypot spy named Fang Fang is in her late 30's or early 40's now. https://tinyurl.com/4d93ksdu
The Fang Fang in the plane crash was 30 years old according to the What China Reads website. https://tinyurl.com/2p99sucw
I do think this was a targeted kill of someone though. Mechanical failure does not put a plane into a 90 degree vertical.
The 737 Maxx had a mechanical/software issue with the way the computers stabilized the vertical up push from the engines being so far back on the body of the plane. When the air speed sensors shorted out or something, the plane thought it was stalling, so would put the nose down, but then pilots couldn't regain control and actually recover when they weren't in a stall at all. Was this a normal 737 or was it a 737 Maxx? Mechanical failures certainly can produce wrecks like this. It's not good to rule out genuine possibilities while searching for the truth.

It was a 737-800, not a Max. Apparently the 800s are very common and have been around since the 90s.
That's what I thought of when I saw the weird descent.. It was the Maxx.
