… about a remarkable diploma mill, fake credentials, and ghostwriting scandal there.
A prominent businessperson in China has done it all: Bought a bogus degree, claimed legitimate degrees he didn’t earn, and farmed his autobiography out to a ghostwriter.
Of course plenty of people put their names on autobiographies they haven’t written, but this guy didn’t even bother reading the thing. Plus he gave the ghost all the bogus university degree stuff, which the ghost duly wrote down…
So now the guy blames the ghostwriter for the false information and sues the researcher who revealed the diploma mill and the fake credentials…
In short, a prince of a guy.

Qian Zhongshu’s satire ‘Fortress Besieged’ is probably the best representation in literature of the diploma mill rigmarole. Zhongshu’s achievement compensates for a multitude of Chinese fraudsters.
