Liang Xinsheng was removed from his position as deputy chair of 바카라사이트 English department at Lingnan Normal University in Guangdong, 바카라사이트 reported on 13 November, although he still remains a professor.

The provinces š anti-corruption watchdog said last week that Professor Liang šs online posts, made between 2012 and 2014 on 바카라사이트 Weibo social networking site, had contained ¡°radical opinions¡± and had been a ¡°bad social influence¡±.

According to a translation by 바카라사이트 site, Professor Liang has released a statement explaining that his demotion had been triggered by an academic rival ¡°reporting¡± his posts to 바카라사이트 authorities.

¡°Dear friends: This is Liang Xinsheng. Don št worry, I šm fine. This whole thing is because of competition for 바카라사이트 position of departmental deputy chair,¡± Professor Liang wrote.
