Zhang's emigration has been a hot topic online, with many netizens saying her status as a political adviser conflicts with her being a foreign national.
Du Bin, a deputy to the National People's Congress and department head at the research institute under Baosteel Group Corp in Shanghai, expressed his opposition toward Zhang's emigration on Monday.
"It's inevitable that Zhang will take much wealth away since she has emigrated, and we should support the other entrepreneurs who make contributions to our home country," he said. "I will never have dinner at South Beauty in the future and I hope other people will also boycott it."
Mao Shoulong, a professor of public administration research at Renmin University of China, said that CPPCC membership should be granted to both Chinese and foreigners.
