After Li Yi, a scholar from the Marxist-University of China, became famous in mainland China for his remarks that “4,000 people died of epidemics in China, which means no one died”, the Chongyang Institute of Finance at Renmin University of China issued a statement yesterday, denying that Li Yi is a researcher at the institute. However, after the statement was released, Li Yi uploaded a copy of his “on-the-job certificate” on his WeChat public website today, which shows that the Chongyang Institute of Finance hired him as a researcher from 2014 to 2017. China’s WeChat did not delete a circulating article condemning Li Yi and calling him a scumbag. China reveals online that Li Yi has a U.S. green card.
The Central News Agency reported today that Li Yi, a martial arts scholar, claimed to be a researcher at China’s National People’s Congress (NPC), a statement that he denied. The report said that Li Yi had previously publicly called himself a “sociologist in the United States” and a “NPC Chongyang Fellow”. He is well known in Taiwan, where he was deported last year for his frequent comments on reunification with Taiwan. However, he has just over 10,000 Weibo followers in mainland China and has no official position.
In a speech at the Shenzhen Bay Forum on October 16, Li Yi jokingly said that 4,000 people in China have died of Chinese neonatal pneumonia, compared to 220,000 in the United States, “which is equal to no one dying. The film was revealed by the media yesterday, triggering the mainland public opinion annihilation and criticism of cold-blooded and inhumane, but he became popular.
The Weixin public number of the Chongyang Institute of Finance of the Chinese National People’s Congress (NPC) immediately issued a statement yesterday, stressing that recently, a person surnamed Li has repeatedly expressed his views on issues such as “Taiwan Sea” and “anti-epidemic”, causing widespread public concern. This person’s resume often has “NPC Chongyang Researcher” on it. The Institute of Chongyang Finance, Renmin University of China, has repeatedly “dispelled rumors” about this. Now it is again stated that there is no researcher surnamed Li at NPC Chongyang.
The newest member of the team, Li Yi, has been a researcher at the Institute of Chongyang Institute of Finance at Renmin University of China.
The Chongyang Institute of Finance of the Chinese National People’s Congress (NPC) did not respond to the statement until the deadline.
