For western universities there can be no ‘business as usual’ in academic cooperation with #HigherEd in China. It’s time for a reality check @AFI_WG. Please read @ScholarsAtRisk’ new report “Free to think”, which includes an excellent chapter on China 🇨🇳 scholarsatrisk.org/wp-conten…

Urgent call to action by @AMFChina in @thetimes for 🇬🇧 universities: international partnerships must always be implemented in transparent & accountable ways if we want #AcademicFreedom & the integrity of HE sector to endure. @AFI_WG's Model Code can be a useful tool to that end.

It was an excellent and necessary conversation last night between @Flo_Index @jayapathak_ @UniofExeter @AFI_WG @AMFChina and others.
Academic cooperation with univs in 🇨🇳 and other autocracies is valuable, but it must be transparent and accountable.
