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'.

the swedish academy, of which Mr. Malmqvist is a member does not have anything to do with the nobel peace prize, a prize that a committee from Oslo votes for
