Student accused of ‘damaging national dignity' over sex with foreigner
A Chinese university has announced the expulsion of a female student for "damaging national dignity" due to her relationship with a foreign man. Dalian Polytechnic University said the student violated a rule against "improper interactions with foreigners" and published her full name. The decision has sparked widespread debate on Chinese social media platforms, with many questioning the university's authority and accusing it of misogyny. The student has been linked to videos posted by Ukrainian gamer Danylo Teslenko, which showed him being intimate with a young woman. State-run media has criticised the university for publishing the student's name, suggesting it is inappropriate and may violate personal information protection laws.
