    Fang Shimin, better known by his pen name Fang Zhouzi (Chinese: 方舟子; pinyin: Fāng Zhōuzǐ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Png Chiu-chú; born 28 September 1967), is a Chinese popular science writer who is primarily known for his campaign against pseudoscience and fraud in China. President and co-director of New Threads (simplified Chinese: 新语丝; traditional Chinese: 新語絲; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Sin-gí-si), a publication and website that promotes Chinese culture to the general public, Fang's aggressive campaign against allegations of academic fraud has been hotly debated; while Fang's works have appeared in many Chinese publications, various Chinese scholars have accused him of vigilantism and of using populist rhetoric in academic research. In 2019, due to the security fund incident, Fang Zhouzi's fraud associate Peng Jian lost both cases in the domestic finals. The verdict has been inquired, and the court ruled that Peng Jian will refund 3.1 million Yuan (USD $485247.03) donations and interest.
