Education and career
Zheng was born in Yuyao, Ningbo, Zhejiang province, China in 1962. After completing his secondary education in Yuyao, he moved to Peking University for his undergraduate and master's studies in political science. After his graduation from Peking University in 1988, he worked for two years as assistant professor in the Department of Politics and Public Administration at Peking University. Later, he studied at Princeton University, in the United States between 1990 and 1995 and obtained PhD in political science in 1995.[citation needed]
After a two-year term at Harvard as SSRC-MacArthur Fellow in International Peace and Security, Zheng moved to the newly founded East Asian Institute in Singapore as a research fellow (1997-2002) and later a senior research fellow (2002-2005).

Alleged sexual misconduct
In August 2020, a staff member at the East Asian Institute (EAI) of the National University of Singapore (NUS) accused Zheng of sexual harassment early as May 2018. The accuser, who identified herself as “Charlotte” on Twitter, reported Zheng to the police in May 2019 “after a year's struggle.” According to the accuser, a warning for “offence for Outrage of Modesty” was given to Zheng in May 2020. She also claimed that the EAI was well aware of Zheng's alleged behavior, but “[pretended] not to know” and used “bullying and retaliation” against her.[18][19]
In early September 2020, the NUS confirmed that Zheng had already resigned from the EAI amid the allegation of sexual misconduct and was granted leave until the expiry of his contract later in the month.[20] Zheng later denied the accusation, along with another alleged incident of sexual misconduct, via his attorney.[21]
In November 2020, the NUS determined that Zheng had behaved indecently with a subordinate by touching her without her consent during a work meeting. In a statement issued on November 17, the NUS noted that Zheng's behavior was “inappropriate in a professional setting” and had breached the university's code of conduct for staff. The university said that they “became aware” of the allegations in May 2019 and suspended Zheng on May 20 that year. Zheng would have been given a written warning accordingly, but since he had already resigned, the NUS recorded the outcome of its internal review in its staff records.[22]
