Security scanners across Europe tied to China govt, military
//At some of the worldās most sensitive spots, authorities have installed security screening devices made by a single Chinese company with deep ties to Chinaās military and the highest levels of the ruling Communist Party.
The World Economic Forum in Davos. Europeās largest ports. Airports from Amsterdam to Athens. NATOās borders with Russia. All depend on equipment manufactured by Nuctech, which has quickly become the worldās leading company, by revenue, for cargo and vehicle scanners.
Nuctechās critics allege the Chinese government has effectively subsidized the company so it can undercut competitors and give Beijing potential sway over critical infrastructure in the West as China seeks to establish itself as a global technology superpower.
āThe data being processed by these devices is very sensitive. Itās personal data, military data, cargo data. It might be trade secrets at stake. You want to make sure itās in right hands,ā said Bart Groothuis, director of cybersecurity at the Dutch Ministry of Defense before becoming a member of the European Parliament. āYouāre dependent on a foreign actor which is a geopolitical adversary and strategic rival.ā//

The 7th University in Hong Kong ceases recognition of its Studentsā Union
In an internal email sent to students and faculty members on January 20, 2022, the Education University of Hong Kong (#EdUHK) criticized governance of the student union, saying that the Union has been operating under a āprovisionalā body for the past four consecutive years, without proper mandate and therefore lack of student representation.
The university said it will stop offering support to the union, including the collection of membership fees, providing network accounts and services, and offering IT support. Additionally, the student union will lose access to its office space and the right to book and use campus facilities and venues.
The unionās HK$9 million reserve will also be ākept under the custodyā of the universityās Finance Office.
In just one year, seven of eight universities in Hong Kong has cut ties with their studentsā union, including the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK), the University of Hong Kong (#HKU), the City University of Hong Kong (#CityU), the Polytechnic University of Hong Kong (#PolyU), the Baptist University of Hong Kong (#BUHK) and the Lingnan University of Hong Kong (#LingnanU).
