Xinjiang party boss outed as PhD plagiarist (1)
According to news today, the Twitter account that revealed Xinjiang party boss Chen Quanguo's and other party official's plagiarizing of academic degree theses, has been emptied, and the Github trove of data supporting it disappeared:

Such a deletion looks a lot like an official admission of "guilty as charged." Has anyone seen any attempt to actually answer the plagiarism charges? Or have they been met only by silence?
(ps. The Financial Times also had an article on the issue, https://www.ft.com/content/2eb02fa4-3429-11e9-bd3a-8b2a211d90d5 [Paywall])
