China maintains strict control over what its citizens can and cannot say. But recently it has come to light exactly how teachers in China’s classrooms are being closely monitored by the Chinese regime.
Xu Chuanqing, an associate professor at Beijing University School of Civil Engineering and Architecture, was given an administrative penalty in April for comments she made during class in September 2017 that were deemed inappropriate by school authorities, Taiwan’s Central News Agency (CNA) reported on June 3. A student in her class tipped off the school authorities about Xu’s comments, where she called the Chinese an inferior ethnic group, and the Japanese more superior.
