In depth investigation: Is Zhang Wei a professor at the Swiss "University of Pheasants"?

Recently, Dr. Jim, a well-known online blogger, wrote that the Dean of the Institute of Chinese Studies of Fudan University was a professor in Switzerland ten years ago“ The Geneva Institute of Foreign Affairs and International Relations is the University of Pheasant 。

Many netizens questioned that Professor Zhang Weiwei is a doctor of the University of Geneva, which has nothing to do with the "University of Pheasant". So what about the facts? Brother Jim will show you some examples today.

First of all, we opened the China Research Institute of Fudan University, searched for "Zhang Weiwei", and then we could access Zhang Weiwei's resume officially released on April 17, 2018, which clearly mentioned:

Zhang Wei was a "former" Professor, Faculty of Diplomacy and International Relations, Geneva.

Therefore, Zhang Weiwei did once hold a post in this pheasant university.

As we continue to search on the search engine, we can see the resume of Zhang Weiwei: Dean of the Institute of Chinese Studies of Fudan University, which was released by the Global Network on November 26, 2015. Among them, the University of Pheasant was mentioned twice:

1. Zhang Wei is "former" Visiting Professor, Geneva Institute of Foreign Affairs and International Relations.

2. Zhang Wei is "current" Geneva Institute of Diplomacy and International Relations.

Look, how can it be okay?

As we continue to search ahead, we can see that on December 5, 2011, the Global Times published Zhang Weiwei's article "The Western Crisis Originates from the" Four Deficiencies "and the Declining Trend Is Irreversible. The title of the author is:

Professor, Faculty of Diplomacy and International Relations, Geneva.

What about? At that time, Zhang Weiwei's only title was the professor of the University of Pheasant!

Looking ahead, in January 2011, Shanghai People's Publishing House published a book called "China Shock" by Zhang Weiwei. Look at the promotional copy of this book, Zhang Weiwei's only title is:

Geneva Institute of Diplomacy and International Relations.

Therefore, According to the two reports of Globegroup and the materials of Shanghai People's Publishing House, Zhang Weiwei is a professor of the University of Pheasant for at least five years from 2011 to 2015!

So why does Zhang Wei hold the title of professor of the University of Wild Rooster until 2015?

It's very simple. According to the news released by the Chinese Research Institute of Fudan University on April 26, 2016, On November 22, 2015, the Chinese Research Institute of Fudan University was founded! Zhang Weiwei has become a professor and dean of Fudan University ！

As we all know, the "tense track" in our academic circles, that is, going up or going away, is very cruel. Generally, a doctor needs to start with a lecturer or assistant professor, then move up to associate professor and then to professor. However, Professor Zhang Weiwei of Fudan University has become a distinguished professor of China's top universities by virtue of his position as a professor of Swiss University of Pheasant, and has become the dean of the research institute. Congratulations!

So, how did Zhang Weiwei enter this pheasant university and become its professor? How did he accomplish the magnificent transformation from a professor at the University of Wild Goose to a distinguished professor at China's top universities?

See you next time!
