It appears my university is not authorizing my trip to attend an international conference on Xinjiang. No clear reason has been given. I'm shocked. Situation still developing

"Ambushing" is when someone drops a news bomb in a meeting and asks you to make an important decision on the spot. The point is to deny you time and agency, forcing an outcome in their favor. It can also be done by email by saying "I will do this if you don't respond now"
