BEIJING: A Chinese court ordered a controversial professor who claims descent from the ancient sage Confucius to apologize and pay a fine after a heated online row over poetry, local media reported yesterday. Kong Qingdong, a professor at the elite Peking University who sparked an outcry in 2012 by calling Hong Kong people \u201cdogs,\u201d said online that a student was a \u201cdog-like traitor\u201d for criticizing a poem he wrote, the Beijing News reported.
\nThe poem was in the style of China\u2019s Tang dynasty (618-906 AD) but the student said it rhymed incorrectly, a local newspaper said. \u201cYour talk is not pertinent, you dog-like traitor,\u201d Kong wrote on China\u2019s twitter-like Sina Weibo service, sources said. A court in Beijing ordered him to pay the student 200 yuan ($ 33) in damages and make a public apology.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
