Can we discuss it? I think one reason is that people just dislike the Society which do not do its job to promote economics research and education.
BTW, why is CES organized by such people with rubbish research records (http://www.china-ces.org/AboutCES/CESofficer.aspx ).
Its president has only second or third-tier journal publicaiton

One of current vice-president is even an assistant professor without any economics publication http://iweb.swufe.edu.cn/hli/ .
Do they entrench themselves with friends for their personal gain?
