The decision to select Chinese student Yurong “Luna” Jiang at Harvard University has provoked a wave of controversy with praise as a beginning speaker, raising concerns about his affiliation and family background.One of the most widely broadcast criticisms came from the X user @Amuse, who posted, “Harvard would select a Chinese national associated with a CCP-supported NGO, whose father is a high-ranked officer in the NGO who serves as a Quality-Diplomatic Agent for CCP, which is for the school’s performance this year?”The post continued: “Eurong” Luana, a Representative of a CCP-funded and monitoring NGO, gave a remuneration speech at Harvard, which is about the diplomatic rhetoric of Xi Jinping about the shared future for mankind. Her father, Jiang Jhimming, is a senior executive in NGO and acts as a semi-diplomatic agent for CCP. The China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) has strong relations with the State and the Communist Party and was established in 1985 by the State Council of China.,As a backlash, Jiang took a stage at the onset ceremony of Harvard on Thursday, on the same day the Trump administration announced a plan to cancel the visa aggressively for Chinese students, especially working in the Sanskriti educational fields.Jiang, who studied international development, gave the title of his speech “our humanity” and focused on the need for compassion and unity in a divided world. “Today, the promise of a connected world is giving way to division, fear and struggle,” he said. “We are beginning to believe that people who think differently, vote differently, or pray differently … are not only wrong. We accidentally see them as evil.” His speech received a small standing ovation.He later told Harvard magazine that although he did not directly name US President Donald Trump, he had taken him into consideration while writing his comments. “In a very divided world, we should refuse to disagree with them,” he said. “Humanity grows and falls together.”Harvard President Allen Garber also addressed the ceremony, defending the international approach of the university. “Our global reach is the same as it should be,” he said, playing applause loudly.Trump has criticized Harvard for having a 25 percent international student population and called for reducing it. He also warned the university that its federal funds could be at risk until leadership and policy changes are made.Garber firmly pushed back, called the administration’s functions “illegal effort to control the basic aspects of our university operations”.
