He kept a bag with clothes and a toothbrush hanging on his front door so he would be ready for this...But it's still a shock when it really happens."Geng further said a police officer had informed Xu's wife that he was accused of soliciting prostitutes while visiting the southwest city of Chengdu."It's just the kind of vile slander that they use against someone they want to silence," she added.According to media reports, Xu had published an essay in February criticising Xi's policy of deception and censorship over the coronavirus situation in China.Xu worked as a law professor at Tsinghua University.
