20:59 (12:59)⇢Harvard speech backlash engulfs Chinese student

⌹The newspapers report on a Harvard student controversy dominating Chinese social media discourse. Jiang Yurong, a Chinese student who gave a graduation speech at Harvard, faces intense criticism after BBC Chinese published an interview where she describes feeling "caught in the middle" and "overwhelmed" by public backlash (BBC Chinese).
