As commentators have pointed out:
"There are few reasons to be surprised at
this state of affairs. Universities political
and economic circumstances encourage them to
pipe to their funder's tunes, whether these be
governments or corporations..."
A senior US academic has stated that:
"Once you have a Confucius Institute on campus,
you have a second source of opinions and authority
that is ultimately answerable to the Chinese
Communist Party and which is not subject to
scholarly review."
Sydney University's China Studies Centre website
boasts that it acts not only academically but
also as "an informed voice in Australia - China
relations."
Hopefully the university students will fight for their
rights and will insist that the university upholds
its elementary intellectual and social responsibilities.
