A Chinese university has sacked a male employee for comments on social media that women employees are lazy and use childcare and family responsibilities as an excuse to avoid doing work.

The School of Education at Ningbo University in Zhejiang province, eastern China, announced it had terminated the employment of the man, surnamed Li, after his “inappropriate comments” had caused “seriously vicious damage”, in a statement published on Weibo yesterday.
