中国大学の学生、外国人との「不適切な接触」で退学処分となった背景
体が縛るナショナリズムある中国の大学が、学生の外国人との「不適切な関係」を理由に退学処分とした事件が社会的な議論を呼んだ。
この事件は、中国においてジェンダーとナショナリズムという二つの機微な問題を浮き彫りにしている。
歴史的に、中国の女性の身体は、国民の母体や道徳的清廉さの指標として、国家主義的な物語に深く組み込まれてきた。
これは、個人の自由な経験よりも、社会の安定や国家の正統性を優先する中国の文化的背景を反映している。

On July 8, Dalian Polytechnic University announced on its official website that a female student, identified by her full name, had been expelled for violating Article 19, Paragraph 6 of the school’s code of conduct, which cites “having improper relations with foreigners” and “causing damage to the dignity of the nation and the reputation of the school” as grounds for dismissal.
Within days, rumors began circulating on social media about the student’s alleged affair with the Ukrainian video gamer Danylo Teslenko – known by his handle, Zeus – whom online rumors claimed is a married man. (Teslenko later denied the claim.) Users online expressed moral outrage at the student’s conduct, condemning her as a slut and a traitor who had brought shame not only to herself but also to her family, her university, and her country. It was an honor killing in the digital age.
The student remained silent the whole time. However, a small group of legal experts and media professionals mounted to her defense. Some questioned the legal basis for her expulsion and condemned the university and subsequent media reports for violating the student’s privacy by disclosing her full name. Others turned their criticism toward Teslenko, who allegedly shared an intimate video with the student to his followers on Telegram without her consent. A smaller number of observers even speculated that the scandal had been a convenient political red herring to deflect attention from a recent lead-poisoning case involving 233 children in Tianshui, Gansu.
