An Australian university tutor has resigned after he allegedly made derogatory comments towards Chinese students on social media,*although his supporters claim it is an act of suppression by the Chinese government.
Wu Wei, a head finance tutor at the University of Sydney School of Business, became the subject of controversy after it was discovered he had labelled mainland Chinese students enrolled at the university "international pigs" with "low IQs" on Chinese social media platform, Weibo (http://www.weibo.com/2363158430/DqSPOEG1e?refer_flag=1001030103_&type=comment#_rnd1461028756453).*

Screenshots of Wu's posts, under the pseudonym "Pekojima,"*have been widely shared on the platform, since he deleted his Weibo account. The posts were originally brought to light in a story by the university newspaper, Honi Soit.
