Li’s revised résumé

Richard Li, chairman of Hong Kong-based Pacific Century Cyber Works (PCCW), is rewriting his CV. But he’s not just updating his work experience and leisure activities. He has to make a major alteration to his qualifications.

Having claimed for the past 14 years that he was a graduate of Stanford with a very solid bachelor of science degree in computer engineering, Li has admitted this is not the case. It turns out he’s nothing more than a good old-fashioned university drop-out who left the course nine months before it ended.
