Dr. Maochun Yu, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s chief China policy advisor, first responded to the CCP’s “genealogical” delisting on Twitter, calling it a “farce.
Yu wrote in a tweet on September 19: “It’s bizarre to remove me from a genealogy I’ve never heard of and never cared about. This farce is so absurd that it can be put to rest.”
According to the Washington Times, Yu Maochun, as chief China policy and planning adviser at the U.S. State Department, has taken a strong stance against Beijing by distinguishing the Chinese Communist Party from the Chinese people, prompting a wave of criticism of him in the Chinese media. The editor-in-chief of the Global Times, Hu Xijin, even publicly called Yu Maochun a “traitor.
A video recently circulated on the Internet in China said that a group of elderly people in Yu Maochun’s birthplace, Shou County, Anhui Province, held a meeting called “Outrage against traitor Yu Maochun” to “expel Yu Maochun from the clan and expel him from the genealogy.
He studied history at Nankai University in 1979, studied abroad in the United States, and became a professor at the U.S. Naval Academy after receiving his doctorate in 1994. He is currently working at the U.S. Department of State.
