Bertie S. Teacup: χ

Nations' governments can exhibit personality disorders. 60 Minutes Australia obviously realizes that overblown coverage of controversy will attract viewers. China appears to believe that bullying will induce other nations to cooperate. I rather doubt that Xi's odious notion of Wolf-Warrior diplomacy will prove effective, particularly with Australians.

"The message coming out of China is getting louder by the day. It doesn't like other countries, especially Australia, ganging up and meddling in its affairs. As we know Beijing is currently doing its best to punish us economically, but in the last few days President Xi Jinping has also ratcheted up the rhetoric by warning of the perils of a new cold war. A loose translation is if we don't stop poking the panda, we'll face serious consequences. Now it's worth taking the threat seriously because Xi controls the largest military force in the world, and as one of his supporters cautions tonight, the cost of conflict with China could be Armageddon."

Victor Zhikai Gao (born 1962) is a Chinese international relations expert and translator. He is a Director of the China National Association of International Studies and an Executive Director of Beijing Private Equity Association. He is best known for his position as the late paramount leader Deng Xiaoping's translator and currently an international expert on Chinese issues. Victor Gao is the vice president of the Center for China and Globalization.

The Center for China and Globalization (CCG) is a Chinese think tank based in Beijing. It was founded in 2008 by a committee of the Western Returned Scholars Association, an organization under the United Front Work Department. CCG is a member of an alliance of think tanks, coordinated by the International Liaison Department of the Chinese Communist Party, that support the Belt and Road Initiative. [Meaning that Gao's posturing threats of "nuclear Armageddon" are party approved. I suspect that Australian media might be using this smug little martinet to stir up anti-Chinese sentiment.]

Face-saving cowards become bullies?

China pressure 'undermining Australian universities', report says:

Chinese pro-democracy students in Australia experience harassment and fear punishment [by Chinese authorities] if they speak out on sensitive issues, a new report says. Human Rights Watch found such students feel surveilled in Australia, leading many to self-censor in classrooms. Academics teaching China courses in the country say they have also felt pressure to censor themselves. In its report, Human Rights Watch warned that perceived pressure from China is undermining the academic freedom of Australian universities.

Human Rights Watch said it had interviewed nearly 50 students and academics in Australia and found an "atmosphere of fear" that had worsened in recent years. The students interviewed - 11 from mainland China and 13 from Hong Kong - said there had been a rise in harassment in Australia after local pro-Hong Kong protests in 2019. Researchers said they had confirmed three cases where a student's activities in Australia had prompted police in China to visit or get in contact with their families there over their actions. In one case, Chinese authorities also threatened a student with jail after they opened a Twitter account in Australia and posted pro-democracy messages.

Many said they feared fellow students reporting on them to the Chinese embassy.

"Fear that what they did in Australia could result in Chinese authorities punishing or interrogating their parents back home weighed heavily on the minds of every pro-democracy student interviewed," said the report.

The report relayed accounts where students say they were abused verbally in person and online after joining rallies or expressing criticism of the Chinese government. Some were "doxxed" - where their personal details were shared online. In most cases, the students did not report their experience to the universities.

The Australian government said it found the report "deeply concerning". There has been growing concern about China's influence on local campuses in recent years, following a deterioration in relations between the two nations. Canberra is already investigating allegations of potential foreign interference.

There are currently about 160,000 Chinese students enrolled in Australian universities. Australia's higher education system is heavily reliant on fee-paying Chinese students, which accounted in pre-COVID times for about 40% of all international students in the country.

Debt-Trap Indoctrination

22-3-18 China’s Controversial Plan to Build a University in Europe - neo > .

In December 2019, Fudan University changed its charter, removing the phrase "academic independence and freedom of thought" (學術獨立和思想自由) and including a "pledge to follow the Communist party's leadership" (學校堅持中國共產黨的領導), leading to protests among the students. It also said that Fudan University had to "equip its teachers and employees" with "Xi Jinping Thought", leading to concerns about the diminishing academic freedom of Fudan.

The Hungarian government made an agreement to open the first campus of Fudan University outside China in Budapest in 2024. The expansion would cost 540 billion HUF, of which 450 billion would be paid by the Hungarian state from a Chinese loan. The construction would be mainly done by Chinese companies. Education professionals and politicians denounced the investment, citing economics, higher education and national security concerns.
