Chinese Academic Repression Distorts the UK’s China Studies, Survey Finds

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is distorting the UK’s China studies system with widespread influence, interference, and harassment, a survey found.

In a report published Aug. 3, London-based charity UK-China Transparency (UKCT) said it found strong evidence that CCP influence in British universities is “shaping careers and disincentivising certain research and other activity that might be negatively received by the CCP.”
