President of Shandong University of Science and Technology, Wang Chunqiu, reviewed the students’ military parade last week, which inspired different opinions online. In recent days netizens have dug out more photos showing that many other university presidents have done the same thing. One netizen comments that “the reason why university presidents are keen on military parades is the concept of hierarchy. The presidents use parades and students’ worship to exert their authority.”
