Enabling console and typing in "G.Ming_met0" seems to have fixed it.
Don't forget to set it back to G.Ming_met1 when the cutscene is over.***
Another note - it's best to head directly to the Golden temple upon entering Chinatown.
Acting like a smart-ass, like I did, and doing side-quests before their time, messes things up, it seems.

Well whaddayaknow, my first post on the forums is on VtM:Bloodlines, and due to a bug.
Surely that doesn't come off as that much of a surprise, huh
Anywho, hi everyone. Let's get down to it.
Chinatown, just arrived, spoke to Ming Lee (pun intended) in the O.G. temple,
and upon exiting I get the cutscene of a girl being kidnapped.
Problem is, the kidnappers get stuck when they enter the alley, probably bumping into an NPC,
and the cutscene never ends.
I have the latest unofficial patch,
tried reloading
restarting the game
speaking some more with Ming Lee / meditating in the temple
middle-fingering the paper with "Caine" written on it
All I've got so far is "Aw-jeez-aw-maaan" (that line cracked me up so bad)
Any help is, of course, very much appreciated as this is a game-breaker.
