Truth or dare

Nation's best-known fighter of fraud, who has as many enemies as he has supporters, is fast building a reputation for integrity as well as intolerance.

Fang Zhouzi likes to pick fights. Figuratively, that is. Specifically, he likes to unveil fraud in academia. But sometimes, his fights spill into the non-academic arena too.

Take his most recent target, an inadvertent one, he says. Le Jia is a guest commentator on a wildly popular dating show. Fang revealed that the California-based school Le says he attended, Armstrong University, was a "wild chicken" institution that had ceased operating, using a Chinese phrase that means lacking proper credentials.
