Professor Yang Yansui of Qinghua University

Professor Yang Yansui (born 1953) is Director of Social Politics Institute and Director of Social Security Research Center at Qinghua University. Yang received a J.D. from Universiteit Gent in Ghent, Belgium.

Professor Yang suggested to postpone retiring age in China, which has been more obviously inevitable given the pressure for one working couple to support one child and four retired grandparents thanks to One-child-per-family policy in China. However Yang suggested only postponing the time for seniors to start receiving their pension, but not the age they would retire. Yang argued people should retire at age 50 to make space for younger generations, but start receiving pension payment only after age 65. When inquired by reporters what would seniors do in the 15 year gap, Yang replied, male could do volunteer work as gardeners, and female could volunteer in the laundry rooms.

Yang's roadmap for Chinese social security is particularly damaging because of her job functions as the console for the Union General, Panelist for Labor and Social Security Ministry, etc. Rotten Index: ♣

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'.
