A top economist has joined the growing list of China’s elite to have disappeared from public life after criticizing Xi Jinping, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Zhu Hengpeng served as deputy director of the Institute of Economics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) for around a decade.
CASS is a state research think tank that reports directly to China’s cabinet. Chen Daoyin, a former associate professor at Shanghai University of Political Science and Law, described it as a “body to formulate party ideology to support the leadership.”
According to the Journal, the 55-year-old disappeared shortly after remarking on China’s sluggish economy and criticizing Xi’s leadership in a private group on WeChat.
Right, you won’t. You will prevaricate. You deny the China is doing anything to the Uyghur people, which is your form of supporting it. Thank you for proving me correct.
TIL all this time that I was calling myself an Atheist, I was actually praising God.
Might as well. You already praise a “socialist” China that objectively doesn’t exist. AFAICT that religion you’ve subscribed to is the main reason you are denying the human rights abuses they are committing.
As I already said, I have no interest in explaining my positions or reasons to someone who is a blatant liar who I know is acting in bad faith and looking to twist around everything I say.
Yet here you were, a blatant liar, acting in bad faith, screeching and howling that I didn’t bring you a link to your own support of Uyghur genocide. You should practice what you preach.
I haven’t said a single lie. You have.
