University of Alberta forges close research ties with China despite warnings from intelligence agencies
The University of Alberta is carrying out extensive scientific collaboration with China that involves sharing and transferring research in strategically important areas such as nanotechnology, biotechnology and artificial intelligence.
In some cases, professors and researchers at the university have set up companies in joint ventures with Chinese companies and state institutions to commercialize Canadian-developed technology.
The University of Alberta declined to discuss its research activities with China other than to say that “we have received no directives related to China” from the federal government to stop its engagement with Chinese institutions.

China-backed Confucius Institutes face closure under veto laws
Australian universities face having their controversial Confucius Institutes shut down within months, with the University of Sydney among the first to submit contracts for scrutiny under the Commonwealth’s foreign veto scheme.
At least one centre - RMIT University’s Chinese Medicine Confucius Institute - will close this year, with the university saying it would cease operations due to budget pressures caused by COVID-19.
The institutes, which are hosted by 13 Australian universities in partnership with Chinese universities, have come under scrutiny from the federal government amid concerns they function as a plank of the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda effort.

Chinese AI firm blacklisted by U.S. gave funds to York, Queen’s universities
Two Ontario universities, York and Queen’s, have been collaborating with a major Chinese artificial-intelligence company that has been blacklisted by the U.S. government for supplying surveillance equipment used against Muslim Uyghurs.
iFlytek, a partly state-owned enterprise that specializes in voice recognition, provided $1.5-million to Toronto’s York University in 2015 to create a new iFlytek Laboratory for Neural Computing and Machine Learning and a chair at the Lassonde School of Engineering. Queen’s University, in Kingston, received $727,000 in 2019 from the Chinese AI company to develop learning models that detect and process speech.

Planned Chinese university in Hungary rouses widespread protest
There are no signs of any excavators or cranes yet in the Budapest district of Ferencvaros. But Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government is hoping to see them roar into action soon. China's renowned Shanghai-based Fudan University intends to open its first foreign campus here in 2024 as the first Chinese university in the European Union.
But the plan has met with considerable opposition. According to a recent poll by Budapest's Republikon Institute, 66% of Hungarians oppose the construction project, including many supporters of the ruling Fidesz party. The opposition is trying to prevent the campus with all means at its disposal, above all, Budapest's mayor, Gergely Karacsony of Hungary's green-liberal party Parbeszed. He wants to enter the race against Viktor Orban in next year's parliamentary elections for the united opposition list.

HK #University Management Reports Students' Union Council to National Security Police
On July 8, 2021, the #StudentUnion Council of the University of Hong Kong (#HKUSU) passed a motion to express condolences to #LeungKinFai, a 50-year-old Hong Kong man who died after knifing a policeman and stabbing himself on July 1.
The act of mourning by the Student Union has been condemned by the government and the University.
The Alibaba-owned South China Morning Post (#SCMP) cited the chairman of HKU Council #ArthurLi, a pro-Beijing figure, and reported that the university management 'welcomed' authorities to investigate whether their students has violated the #NationalSecurityLaw. The source claimed the students involved could be expelled by the University.
At 1am on July 9, the Student Union Council announced the resignation of its members and the withdrawal of the motion passed. Their Facebook page and the website were also removed.

Chinese Professor Lists "Reporting Crime to the Natioanl Security Bureau" in her CV
Wei Li works as an assistant professor at the Department of Politics and Administration of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (#CUHK) in Hong Kong. Her controversial behaviour has been reported by the media since the Anti-ELAB Movement in 2019.
Previously, Li has made comments against the pro-democracy protests. She, for instance, criticised students protesting against the #NationalSecurityLaw as "wasting time, shortening life span".
Li also openly mentioned her "consumption" of the food offerings from the pro-democracy protesters to the deceased. In a Facebook group, Li claimed to have taken the food away from the altar set up by protesters, arousing the discontent in the community.
Recently, she mentioned in her academic CV on the university's webpage that she has been reporting "law-breaking incidents" and advicing the National Security Police Department.
In January 2021, a video went viral on the Internet, capturing a 39-year-old woman argueing with a MTR staff after she was caught using a senior transport card. It was reported that Wei Li was that woman.

It is understood that almost ONE THIRD of the tuition fees of the #UniversityofGlasgow are from Chinese students. The school has yet to retract this partnership, but said that they are dedicated to upholding academic freedom. Really?! What about the freedoms of the #Uyghurs, #Kazahks and other ethnic minorities repressed by #CCP which controls your "academic partner" too? Are they naive or just hypocritical?

2) it took 24 hours to arrest and send these students to court, but 47 pro-democracy politicians and activists, arrested in Feb 2021, still haven’t been on trial.

Universities hire planes to fly in China students
Britain’s top universities are chartering flights to get Chinese students to the UK next month amid fears that global travel restrictions could cost hundreds of millions of pounds in overseas fees.
The universities are worried that their income from overseas students — which is more than £1 billion, partly because of the premium on domestic fees the institutions are able to charge — could be undermined by travel problems.
More than 50 UK universities — including many of the elite Russell Group of 24 leading institutions such as Imperial College London, Bristol and Exeter — have already chartered four flights to bring in 1,200 Chinese students in time to start their degrees next month.

Ban Chinese firm from working on UK nuclear power stations, ministers told
Cross-party China hawks have called on the government to slap an “outright” ban on a Chinese state-owned firm’s involvement in all UK nuclear power plants.
Tory MP Sir Iain Duncan Smith and Labour peer Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws, co-chairs of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (Ipac), on Tuesday welcomed reports that ministers propose curbing Beijing’s links with future assets planned for Britain’s nuclear fleet.
However, the senior parliamentarians urged Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng to go further and reconsider the role of China general Nuclear (CGN) in the Hinkley Point C plant in Somerset, where construction is already significantly advanced.

“If you’re a subscriber to big media you trust the contents they provide to you, it’s quite dangerous,”
The influence china now has in universities in the west should also be considered.
Most 'journalists' are products of the same indoctrination factories almost all the political elite came from.
