CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom—Cambridge University has disbanded its largest Chinese student association, following the association’s failure to hold an election for president, and has required new elections as a basis for reforming the organization. The Chinese Embassy is implicated in the attempt to set aside voting.
Chinese around the globe are following this story. It was first reported on Nov. 25 by the Guangzhou, China-based Southern Weekend, the largest-circulation weekly in mainland China.
Southern Weekend said that the sitting president of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association in Cambridge (CSSA-CAM), Ms. Chang Feifan, had announced in July that she would continue in a second term without the benefit of an election.
