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.
Your next mission, should you choose to accept it, is to determine whether this image is racist, or not.
Oh bother!
Wow, what a useful state-sponsored think tank.
I’m sure everyone else who works there will make sure to be completely honest with their findings going forward, regardless of how it might make the Party look.
Things are afoot in the Hundred Acre Wood.
Idk why he assumed the private chat was actually private and not fully monitored.
Oh, do they fall out of windows in China too?
Free West Taiwan! Hopefully, the CCP built dump will implode.
I’d prefer to redirect them to the north. Let them invade the fertile and undeveloped lands russia has neglected, and get back Yongmingcheng. It beats fighting every other country in the pacific - aside from North Korea.
No one will care if China invades Russia. Do eet!
Truly no emperor has ever worn such fine clothes as our beloved Xi. This will absolutely never backfire on them
