Chinese university students told to spy on classmates, report says
Chinese university students are allegedly being pressured to spy on classmates to silence discussions sensitive to the Chinese government, a report reveals. The UK-China Transparency (UKCT) think tank's survey also notes Chinese officials warning lecturers to avoid certain topics. With universities facing fines for failing to uphold academic freedom and free speech, the OfS emphasizes the importance of safeguarding these rights against foreign interference.
