On September 29, the Beijing Institute of Technology announced that faculty member Pei Yi had seriously violated professional conduct standards for teachers, revoking his qualification as a graduate supervisor and terminating his employment. Pei Yi had previously sparked controversy over remarks made in class discussing feminism and noting that all members of the Politburo Standing Committee are male.
A whistleblower letter targeting Pei Yi, republished by self-media on September 26, shows that the complainant, in addition to complaining about gender-related speech, also listed support for the MeToo movement and feminism as improper political speech, and demanded an investigation into whether she had endangered national ideological security.
The course "Protection of Women's Rights in the Digital Age," offered by Pei Yi, an assistant professor at Beijing Institute of Technology, sparked controversy over remarks made in the course selection group and online posts allegedly disparaging men, and was subsequently halted by the university.
