On Thursday, according to screenshots shared online, an employee at the Harbin Institute of Technology in northeastern China wrote on the popular WeChat platform: “Today is Thanksgiving in the West and I’d like use occasion to thank students of Dorm No. 17 for supporting my work.”As images of the conversation went viral online, becoming a top trending topic on China’s Twitter-like service Weibo, the school issued a statement early Friday saying that after an investigation, it concluded “the dorm supervisor’s offer of chocolate candies was based on good intentions, and so were the student’s messages.”Many comments online were critical of both the student’s response and the school statement, with one user writing “how could you say snitching and threats were based on good intentions?”
