The school’s logo went viral after it was revealed on Weibo, with pro-democracy activist Wang Dan describing it as “the ugliest logo ever” and netizens thinking it was shaped like a 兲.
Xi Jinping’s Xiongan New Area in Hebei has not taken off in recent years, and is considered China’s largest “bad project.
According to the official Chinese media People’s Daily Online and China Education Online, Vice Premier Sun Chunlan visited Xiongan New Area in Hebei this month to inspect the Xiongan Xuanwu Hospital, the university park in the Xiongan New Area start-up area, and the construction site of the “three schools turnkey” project to understand the situation of education and health support for the construction of Xiongan New Area, and afterwards instructed to focus on planning and building Xiongan University Park, Xiongnu University is expected to start enrollment in 2023.

Xi Jinping’s New Xiongnu New Area Is Too Slow to Become a Corruption-Hit Area
On April 1, 2017, the Xiong’an New Area in Hebei, which was decided by Xi Jinping himself, was officially touted as a so-called “millennium plan and national event” and was officially qualified as another new area of national significance after the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Shanghai Pudong New Area.
However, after a strong publicity boom, the large-scale construction of Xiong’an New Area was delayed in 2018, arousing suspicions from the outside world.
Yin Zhi, an expert in planning and design of the Xiongan New Area and a professor at Tsinghua University’s School of Architecture, was quoted in Sina Finance on August 20, 2018, as saying that the political reason for the slow construction of the Xiongan New Area is that it has been relatively repressive for nearly a decade, “discouraging institutional exploration and innovation, and discouraging the government from taking charge,” and therefore the construction of the Xiongan New Area is not at a Therefore, the Xiongan New Area is not at the best time to build.
That’s why nearly two years have passed, but so far not a single shovel of earth has been moved, because many things have not been figured out,” said Yin Zhi.
On January 16, 2019, Xi Jinping, during a research trip to Xiong’an New Area in Hebei, said Xiong’an “has barely moved a brick and mortar in these two years”, seemingly expressing dissatisfaction.
On April 1, 2020, the official media “China News Agency” reported the release of several pictures showing that the main structure of the buildings at the Xiong’an New Area site had still not been completed, and there were still large areas of wasteland around it.
A number of corruption scandals have been reported since around the time of the Xiongan New Area’s establishment. On March 28, four days before the official establishment of the Xiongan New Area, the website of the Communist Party of China’s Hebei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision said that Wu Yafei, the former county party secretary of Xiong County in Baoding City, was suspected of “serious disciplinary violations” and was currently under review. There are reports that Wu Yafei is suspected to be involved in profiting from insider information about the birth of the new district.
On May 20, 2018, Wu Lifang, deputy secretary-general of the Hebei provincial government, fell from power, and Hong Kong media said Wu Lifang was involved in issues related to his time as deputy secretary of Baoding City and the recent development of Xiongan New Area.
In July last year, the mainland media reported that the Xiongan New Area had launched a drone “eye in the sky” to monitor and inspect hidden food and drink issues. The inspection teams were not only equipped with special equipment such as law enforcement recorders, alcohol meters and cameras, but also launched the drone “eye in the sky” to supervise and inspect the hidden food and drink issues, and the effect was obvious.
The official move was seen by netizens as proof of the seriousness of corruption in Xiongan New Area.
The new Xiongan New Area project has not progressed, but personnel have repeatedly changed. on September 2, 2019, Liu Chuncheng, who is only 51 years old and was the general manager of Xiongan Group in August 2017, was transferred to the party secretary of the Hebei Academy of Sciences. on September 3, Niu Jingfeng, who was the deputy director of the party group work department of the Xiongan New Area in Hebei since the preparation of the Xiongan New Area, was also transferred to the party standing committee of the Hebei Engineering University.
The company’s main goal is to provide a comprehensive range of products and services to the public.
