“A liberal Chinese economist who had been an outspoken critic of China’s ruling Communist Party has been expelled from the elite Peking University, amid a broader crackdown on dissent.  Professor Xia Yeliang, 53, had drawn the ire of school officials for his blog posts calling for democratic reforms and rule of law in China. Xia said he was told on Friday that professors and school leaders had voted to end his contract. Chinese liberals and intellectuals had hoped the new government under President Xi Jinping that took over in March would be more tolerant of calls for reform but it appears authorities won’t tolerate any challenge to their rule.”
