Associate Professor Zhuang Tailiang of the Department of Economics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong faced widespread criticism after making gender-discriminatory comments at a New Asia College biweekly meeting 1. The scholar stated that "women's high GPA is useless; what matters most is catching a wealthy man," and advised that "female students should not pursue doctoral degrees" because "a woman's youth is too precious" 1.

Following the backlash, Zhuang issued a public apology on social media, acknowledging that his remarks had caused public offense 1. In his statement, he said he was "sincerely sorry for the words I used at the New Asia biweekly meeting that may have offended the public or certain individuals" 1. He emphasized that he "personally respects women and absolutely endorses that both genders hold equal importance and capabilities in society" 1. Zhuang admitted that he had not given careful consideration to his choice of words and the context of his remarks 1.

The incident prompted the formation of a "New Asia Biweekly Meeting Concern Group," with members calling for the university to conduct an investigation into the matter 1.
