A Chinese university announced the expulsion of a female student for “damaging national dignity” after she was accused of “improper interactions” with a foreign man, generating heated discussions across Chinese social media about whether the university had gone too far.
Over the last several days, the expulsion has drawn thousands of comments on platforms such as Xiaohongshu and Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, many of which question whether the school has the right to judge her personal life and elevate it to a matter of national import.
In an announcement posted last week, Dalian Polytechnic University in the country’s northeast declared that the student would be “expelled” in 60 days, saying she violated the university rule against “having improper interactions with foreigners that damage national dignity.”
“Your misbehaviors on December 16, 2024, caused a terrible negative impact,” the announcement said, without giving details on what constituted the “misbehaviors.” The university released her name, but AP is not publishing it out of privacy concerns.
