UTS Professor Chonyi Feng detained in China, stopped from boarding return flight to Australia

A Sydney professor and critic of growing Chinese government influence in Australia has been prevented from boarding a flight to return home to Sydney, and the ABC understands he has been told he is not allowed to leave China.

Chongyi Feng, an Associate Professor in Chinese Studies at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), had been visiting China but friends say he was stopped from taking a flight to Australia while at Guangzhou airport in southern China on Saturday night.

It was the second time in as many days that the prominent Sydney-based academic and China expert had been blocked from boarding a flight.
