China economist vanishes after privately criticising Xi

The 55-year-old, who worked at a government think tank for around a decade, allegedly attacked Xi Jinping for his economic policies in a WeChat group, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Mr Zhu, who worked as deputy director of the Institute of Economics at the state-run Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), was detained shortly after he made offensive comments about China’s sluggish economy as well as remarks against Mr Xi, the publication reported, citing sources. Mr Zhu has reportedly not been seen in public since April when he addressed an event organised by Chinese media outlet, Caixin. It’s not clear when he made the comments on WeChat.
