Rao Yi, president of Beijing Capital University of Medical Sciences, is suspected of being involved in the infighting between the Beijing and Shanghai gangs in the academic world.
Rao Yi had reported Pei Gang, as well as Wuhan University School of Medicine professor Li Hongliang and Shanghai Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences researcher Geng Meiyu for academic fraud in the “academic earthquake” in November 2019. After more than a year, the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Communist Party of China (MOST) issued a notice on January 21 this year on the investigation and treatment of suspected fraudulent papers, saying that Li Hongliang and Geng Meiyu “were not found to have falsified their papers, but a small number of pictures were found to have been misused”, while Pei Gang and Rao Yi were not found to have falsified their papers.
Only two hours after the Ministry of Science and Technology issued the above notice, Rao Yi issued another article, formally reporting Pei Gang’s paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in 1999 for alleged “academic misconduct”.
The mainland media described the incident as “Rao Yi’s deadly confrontation with Pei Gang”.
The commentator Li Yanming pointed out in an article that Rao Yi’s report may reflect the infighting between the Beijing and Shanghai gangs in the academic world.
The article argues that Pei Gang and Geng Meiyu, whom Rao Yi reported, both belong to the Shanghai Academy of Biological Sciences system of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is an important area of interest and influence of Jiang Zemin’s son Jiang Mianheng, and Jiang Mianheng became vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in November 1999, and six months later Pei Gang replaced Wu Jianping as president of the Shanghai Academy of Biological Sciences for seven years, during which Jiang Mianheng visited the Shanghai Academy of Biological Sciences several times, and Pei Gang was responsible for reporting to him.
Li Yanming also quoted informants as saying that during Jiang Mianheng’s tenure as vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and president of the Shanghai branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he established the Shanghai Academy of Biological Sciences as his own interests and power territory through the merger and adjustment of institutions, allocation of scientific research funds and personnel arrangements, and a group of researchers in the Shanghai Academy of Biological Sciences tended to rush to him and privately called him “Prince Jiang”; Pei Gang, Wu Jiarui and other people were close friends of Jiang Mianheng.
After 2014, Jiang Mianheng used the resources of CAS and the Shanghai gang to establish his own independent kingdom – Shanghai University of Science and Technology, and became president of the Shanghai University of Science and Technology. January 2015, Jiang Mianheng stepped down as president of the Shanghai branch of CAS, but through the identity of the president of the Shanghai University of Science and Technology, can still directly or indirectly access to the Shanghai CAS, CAS, and the Shanghai University of Science and Technology. CAS resources, the Shanghai Academy of Biological Sciences and the Shanghai University of Science and Technology has thus become a platform for Jiang Zemin’s Family and the Shanghai gang’s interests in the field of high-tech scientific research.
Rao Yi was involved in founding the Shanghai Institute of Neuroscience of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Shanghai Center for Interdisciplinary Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but in 2004, Rao Yi moved to Beijing, where he has been ever since.
Li Yanming also cited knowledgeable people and analysis that Rao Yi from Shanghai to Beijing, with the Shanghai Biological Academy of Shanghai gang forces ostracized related, and Rao Yi in the promotion of the Capital Medical University President, was reported on his papers suspected of misconduct, Rao then launched a counter-attack, the real name of Pei Gang, Geng Meiyu and others, the target directly to Jiang Mianheng’s interests and power territory, this series of reporting incidents not only reflects the academic Beijing gang and Shanghai gang infighting, and may shock the Shanghai gang Shanghai Biological Academy of Sciences system, extended to Jiang Mianheng, or Jiang Mianheng and his last bastion of interest facing the prelude to cleaning.
