According to the official website of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, after the presidium of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 577 effective candidates for academician co-election are determined in 2021.

As soon as the news came out that Wang Li was recommended by the Guizhou Association for Science and Technology to be included in the list of co-opted academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, people linked the matter to the “Tobacco Academician” controversy many years ago, and even ridiculed him as a “Liquor Academician”. .

As early as February of this year, the China Broadcasting Corporation published the title “Moutai Female Chief Worker Shortlisted for Academician Candidates? Be cautious! “Commentary article. The article mentioned that it is difficult to recommend the selection of academicians by researchers dedicated to the research of “wine-making” technology, which can hardly represent the strategic direction of “rejuvenating the country through science and technology”, and it will also cause people to question the direction of social scientific research and academician recommendation and selection criteria. At the same time, the article pointed out that Moutai Group is a well-known brewing company with a high market position and has ranked first in tax payment in Guizhou for three consecutive years. In this context, the chief engineer of Moutai Group was recommended by the Guizhou Association for Science and Technology to be shortlisted as a co-opted academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Has it been affected by market factors other than scientific research results? If elected, will the biggest beneficiary be the brewing company he works for? “All these kinds of questions need to be faced directly, and all parties concerned should be cautious!”

The person in charge of the relevant department of the Chinese Academy of Engineering said in response in February this year that Wang Li is still in the stage of recommendation and publicity by the local Association for Science and Technology, and is not an effective candidate for the academician co-election of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2021. “We will continue to pay attention to the relevant situation.”

According to official information from Moutai Group, Wang Li is 49 years old. She graduated from Northwestern Institute of Light Industry (now Shaanxi University of Science and Technology) in 1994, majoring in food, and then joined Moutai Distillery. She is currently the chief engineer of China Kweichow Moutai Distillery (Group) Co., Ltd. Chief Quality Officer, has presided over and participated in the compilation of a number of enterprise technical standards, and has successively won the second prize of National Technology Invention Award, State Council Special Allowance Expert, National Light Industry “Great Power Craftsman”, National Brewing Senior Appraiser and other honorary titles.
