China Bans Two Anti-China Australian Scholars from Entry, but the Co-Authors of The Silence Invasion said They Did Not Apply for a Chinese Visa

The Chinese state media, Global Times, quoted from the officials that China had already banned two Australian scholars from entering the country, presumably in response to the action from Australia in early September (Sept 9), when Australia cancelled the visas of two Chinese scholars.

The two banned scholars are Clive Hamilton and Alex Joske, a Professor of Ethics of Charles Sturt University and a researcher of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) respectively.

Clive Hamilton has been actively criticizing Chinese political infiltration of Australia. Besides, in 2018, he published The Silent Invasion, investigating Chinese influence on Australia.

Alex Joske, who grew up in Beijing and speaks fluent Mandarin, specializes his study on the Chinese military and the overseas penetration work from CCP. He also assisted in writing Silent Invasion and often addresses about the Chinese government's infiltration of local universities in Australia.
