Wolfgang Kubin (born 1945) is a German sinologist and works at the University of Bonn's Institute for Oriental and Asian Studies.
In November 2006, he attracted a great deal of attention due to an interview he gave with German broadcaster Deutsche Welle regarding a few prominent examples of recent contemporary Chinese literature, most of which he denounced in harsh terms; he referred to Wei Hui's Shanghai Baby as "garbage" and Jiang Rong's Wolf Totem as "fascist".[1][2] He has expressed his admiration for Lu Xun, and he has said that no contemporary author could compare to him.[3]
