China’s Twitter-like social media Weibo has blocked an outspoken entrepreneur and demographer after he critiqued the communist regime’s harsh ‘zero-COVID’ policy, the latest instance of Beijing shutting down speech inconsistent with officially-sanctioned narratives.
James Liang, a graduate of Georgia Institute of Technology and a former researcher at ORACLE, is the co-founder and chairman of the board of directors of China’s largest online travel company, Trip.com Group. He is also a professor of economics at Peking University with a focus on population studies.
