Yu Minhong, widely known as a pioneer of English-language education in China, has made an apology for profanity-laced public remarks in which he said that “Chinese women have completely ruined China.”

At a Nov. 18 education conference held in Shanghai, Yu lambasted a group of middle-aged Chinese women who were filmed enthusiastically snatching up free food at the China International Import Expo held earlier this month.
