 * Keep. Per Notability (academics), an academic is notable if he "holds or has held a named/personal chair appointment or "Distinguished Professor" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research."  Being "Cheung Kong Professor of Economics" at Fudan University appears to satisfy this.  Unfortunately, the current text of the article appears to largely be a copyvio from the cited reference, but I'll try to fix that. Cool3 (talk) 19:36, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. As noted by Cool3, meets WP:PROF criterion #5 (named chair or distinguished professor appointment).--Eric Yurken (talk) 15:49, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with the editors above about the named chair giving notability, and would also point to these sources found by a Google News search in English. If he has that much coverage in English sources available online then he would pretty obviously have much more in Chinese online or offline sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:50, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
