Professor Li Yining of PKU

Professor Li Yining, Dean of Guanghua Management College, talked at the 7th Guanghua New Year Forum on Dec 25th, 2004


While many people are starving, many students have to drop out of school because of poverty, professor Li Yining claimed that Chinese people were so rich that most of them had second houses somewhere.

Professor Li claimed, if not all professors of PKU had their own cars and vacation houses, then the economic reform of China could be seen a failure.

In 2004, when the housing price in all major Chinese cities were already over priced, Li stated that there were no bubble in real estate market.

His 2005 study recommended that China should make policy to keep an low income population to maintain the low cost of labors.

Professor Li Xiguang of THU

Professor Li Xiguang, vice Dean of Mass Communication College of Tsinghua University, talked at a forum on Jan. 5th, 2005

Why does Professor Li deserve a place here?
1) He suggested to the CCP that they should force Chinese people to use their real names on the Internet. This practically shut down all the online BBS/forums in China, especially those campus based.
2) His double-faces career approach, in which he suggested harsher control to the Chinese government, and at the same time, criticizing the Chinese government over media control when he talked to the westerners.

Professor Li is the Director of Center for International communication studies at the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and Academic Dean of the Department of communications at Tsinghua University. His homepage is http://lass.calumet.purdue.edu/cca/gmm/Profiles/Li%20Xiguang.html.

The communist government was furious after the Nobel committee Nils Göran David Malmqvist gave the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize to political dissident Liu Xiaobo. Li wrote an article, in which he revealed one committee member took $600,000 bribe from a Chinese writer in exchange nomination for the Literature Prize. Li claimed his source was 'Chinese Broadcast Network', a Chinese equivalent of OK or STAR magazine. However, no such information could be found at the 'Chinese Broadcast Network'.

Why do I start this topic?

Last month, the closing of many Chinese campus BBS (Internet based bulletin board system) shocked the college students across China, as well as all recent graduates who have seen those as their online homes. People has been trying everything to persuade the authority to reopen the BBSs. These BBS systems are the vital, and in many cases the only, connection between a Chinese student and the outside real world. I am shocked and angry. We do not know particularly who is responsible for this. But we will hold all of those shamelessness accountable. One of them is professor Li Xiguang of Qinghua University.

Intellectuals has been the spine upholding Chinese culture for thousands of years. Unfortunately, from time to time, we see some bad apples. These bad apples need to be picked out.

We don't have resources to get every corrupt professors in China, but we will make our best efforts to get those who make most damages.

To single out the worst, we skipped a lot bad ones. For an example on the Sina-Japan relationship, independent scholar Mao Yushi publicly denounced current anti-Japan movement and professor Liang Yuanxiang of PKU advocated for the security council seat for Japan. Both of them are shame of Chinese intellectuals. However Mao is a decent scholar with independent mind. Although I personally felt offended by his words, he did not belong to this list. On the other hand, Liang was little known to the extend it seems he created the incident to collect publicity. We will not reward him with a spot in this Hall of Shame.

An interesting and rather puzzling observation are that two groups of people suffered the most under the communists regime: the farmers and the intellectuals. However, so far the farmers has been seen as a solid ruling foundation of the regime, thanks to the excellent job of the intellectuals who tried their best to fool the people. Those 'intellectuals' who have been sleeping in bed with the communists party are in the least carrying the same guilt.

Readers may notice that many featured rotten intellectuals are of Beijing University and Qinghua University. The two schools gathered the most established and influential professors in China. Having most entries in this Hall was a shame for both, but nonetheless, they are still the two best universities in China.
