Jiang Shigong will be the new vice president of Minzu University of China in Beijing. Jiang was previously a professor at Peking University’s Faculty of Law and a researcher on Hong Kong issues. Jiang helped formulate a 2014 Chinese government statement that attributed „comprehensive jurisdiction“ over Hong Kong to Beijing. He did not see Hong Kong as separate from the West and supported China’s introduction of national security laws after the 2014 protests in Hong Kong.
