Hao is the writer of Beijing or Bust, a blog that often flirts with the fine lines between Chinese state censorship and the U.S. Fifth Amendment, a habit he may have picked up from his education in the United States: the self-proclaimed "biologist-turned-capitalist-turned-writer & filmmaker wannabe" has an MBA degree from University of Michigan Business School and earned a Master of Science in molecular and cell biology in July, 1995 from Brandeis University, where he was awarded a full merit-based scholarship.
Comments one reader on Peking Duck blog: "Hao is a good friend of mine. He is an all-around great guy - talented, passionate and brave. The kind of person that China is lucky to have, contributing his talent and intelligence. This is beyond outrageous. It's absolutely sickening."
