A student-run body at Harvard University recently hosted a Chinese diplomat who has previously denied claims of genocide in Xinjiang and described the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as a “great Party.”

Huang Ping, consul general of the Chinese consulate in New York, told attendees of the annual Harvard College China Forum on April 16 that China is “embarking on a new journey to build a great modern socialist country.”
