Former Tsinghua University Scholar in Beijing Holds Lecture, Reportedly Criticizes China's Economy and is Reported

(Central News Agency, reporter Zhang Qian, Hong Kong, 2nd) Hong Kong media reported that Zheng Yuhuang, a former associate professor at Tsinghua University's School of Economics and Management in Beijing, recently held a lecture in Beijing. It is suspected that someone was dissatisfied with the speaker's criticism of China's economy and reported it to the authorities as an "illegal assembly." The police arrived to investigate and then left, and the event continued.

Ming Pao reported today that Zheng Yuhuang, currently a Chinese internet celebrity, held a paid lecture titled "Harvard Business School Practical Case Analysis Training Camp" at the Hilton Hotel at Beijing Capital Airport on the 27th and 28th of last month. On the first day, he held the "CMSI Scientific Marketing Academy Stalwart Member Master Class," inviting Sun Liping, a former professor in the Department of Sociology at Tsinghua University in Beijing, to analyze the future trends of China's macroeconomic economy.

According to photos circulated online, Sun Liping stated that China is in a "recessionary period," economies such as Europe and the United States are in an "overheated period," and economies such as Japan and South Korea are in a "recovery period."

On the second day, Zheng Yuhuang held a lecture on "Future Trend Analysis." During the lecture, two police officers suddenly arrived and took him out of the venue for questioning.

Reports indicated that netizens present revealed that Zheng Yuhuang said in the course that China's future economy is "macro-pessimistic" and "micro-optimistic," estimating it would last 20 to 30 years, referencing Japan as a viewpoint, and saying, "Actually, the teacher didn't say much."

According to reports, Zheng Yuhuang later posted on social media that the lecture was suspected of being an "illegal assembly." After explaining to the two police officers who arrived, they left after about 5 minutes, and the event continued.

Regarding the report of his lecture, he said, "The more popular you are, the more trouble you attract, and you offend many people."

Reports state that Zheng Yuhuang resigned from Tsinghua University in Beijing about two years ago, founded the "CMSI Scientific Marketing Academy," and started offering courses. The annual fee is 999 yuan, which allows participation in one offline "master class" per year. The recent "master class" reportedly attracted about 500 participants, and the "Harvard Business School Practical Case Analysis Training Camp" that was reported was priced at 9800 yuan.
