Chinese student who could ‘never love my country’ expelled after two weeks for being unpatriotic

A Chinese student has been expelled for posting comments on social media deemed “unpatriotic” by his university’s Communist Party-run propaganda department in the latest of a series of similar crackdowns in the education sector.

Wang Dong, 18, enrolled on an undergraduate programme with the civil engineering department at Hunan City University on September 9. Just 10 days later he became the subject of an investigation after people complained about his “insulting” social media posts, the Party Committee Propaganda Department said in a statement released on Saturday.
