An official from China, known for applauding the CCP and refuting allegations of China’s persecution of the Uyghurs, participated in November 2023 in a notable event with leaders from Ivy League University Princeton.

“Paid a visit to the prestigious Princeton University and had fruitful discussions with Madame Provost Jennifer Rexford and fellow colleagues today,” Huang Ping, consul General of the People’s Republic of China in New York, posted on X this week along with a photo of Ping with Princeton Provost Jennifer Rexford.

“Exciting plans are underway to expand partnerships between PU and Chinese universities, fostering high-level academic exchanges and cooperation,” his post continued.

Huang Ping, serving as the consul general of China’s New York Consulate since 2018, has previously lauded the CCP as a “great party” and rejected allegations of China targeting the Muslim Uyghur population within the country.

“There are lots of lies here, fabricated by some people with their own political agenda,” Huang said in an August 2021 interview, denying the existence of genocide and internment camps targeting Uyghurs. “As I said, there’s no genocide, not a single evidence to prove that there’s a genocide or something there. It’s just a slandering.”
