Yet another one of China's elite has disappeared after criticizing Xi Jinping

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.

Lol he does look like that fucking bear

You have been banned from lemmy.ml for violating rule 2

ML anxious attachment style. Banning people for comments they make on other instances is some weeeird little dog behavior.

Already been down voted by a .ml user that got offended by me daring to insult their precious instance. Fuck .ml and their trash mods and admins lmao

At least they're slightly better than Truth Social. Apparently that's literally a completely defederated Mastodon instance.

You wouldn't be here without us

Eh, that's a bit much. Let's remember that they created Lemmy in the first place, and for that I'll always be grateful.

Is that why I got banned? Makes sense, I do have a tendency to refer to him as Xi Xinpooh
