Oxford Uni Bans Content Recordings and Allows Anonymous Homework Due to the Fears on Guilty of Words
The shock from Minato National Security Law influences Oxford University in the UK that they introduced new measures to protect the students who study China-related subjects. The institution allows them to hand in their work anonymously, at the same time it bans related education recordings, or share the content with others.
Minato National Security Law not only regulates Hongkongers in Hong Kong but also allows the Hong Kong government to prosecute foreigners or overseas action. Many scholars worry that relevant laws will threaten academic freedom, and even affect the personal safety of students and teachers. Following the US Universities implemented measures on student’s identity protection and personal safety late last month, Oxford University also introduced similar new measures to protect the students. The Guardian stated the university allows students who study China-related subjects to hand in their homework anonymously, and tutorial class changes to one-to-one teaching from group format. Oxford will ban students from recording lessons or sharing lesson contents to others. Violators will be disciplined.
Assistant Professor, specialized in China, at Oxford University, Patricia Thornton, said to The Guardian “We are all Hongkongers”, and believed that foreign regulations could deport students. Thornton emphasized that she would not adjust the content of the lesson due to the National Security Law, at the same time, she understands she has the responsibility to protect the student, same as her colleagues in the US. Therefore, she allows anonymous works handing in and one-to-one teaching. She also stated, “the spirit of a tutorial class depends on the clash of students’ opinions, success or failure is also based on whether the institution can ensure everyone can enjoy the speech freedom, expression freedom and academic freedom.” She questioned China’s implementation of the National Security Law against Hong Kong intensifies self-censorship, and the law also regulates overseas behaviour. China can arbitrarily interfere in any places which are hard to practice tutorial classes and guarantee academic freedom.
England University Principal Organisation, Universities UK, will discuss National Security Law with Chinese scholars at the beginning of next month. Some local scholars plan to present the first draft of the code of conduct this week, to help universities dealing with students from authoritarian countries to study locally. British Association for Chinese Studies warned universities should not make “teachers be careful in the teaching content” because of the National Security Law, or removed China-related content from the syllabus because of the difficulty of safe teaching.
British universities are a popular choice for students from Hong Kong and China. The Guardian quoted stated with data, the number of Chinese international students in higher education institutions in the UK has increased by more than one-third in the past four years, reaching a total of 120,000. In 2018-2019 alone, 35% of students from non-EU countries were Chinese students and believed that it would continue to increase in the future.

China suggested that England accelerate its pace for completing the removal of Huawei equipment by 2025. The spokesperson of Huawei indicated that the report from the committee was not reliable as the content was not the truth.
Accusation on Huawei of Being Funded by the Chinese authorities, to Sell Equipment at Low Prices to Seize the Market
According to Reuters, the Defence Committee of the British Parliament had a meeting today, indicated that there was clear evidence to show Huawei colluded with the Chinese government and urged that England should remove all the Huawei equipment early. The committee stated that the western countries urgently needed to unite and balance China’s technological advantages, as well as removing all the Huawei equipment by 2025, two years earlier than the originally scheduled date in 2027.
According to the BBC, the Parliament report quoted from a venture investor that he knew the Chinese government injected 750 billion USD for helping the expansion of Huawei within three years.

A scholar, who specializes in corporate misconduct, stated in the report that Huawei had been engaging in various intelligence, security, and intellectual property activities, but Huawei has always denied it. The report also stated that England did not have to fall into hysterical anti-China, but changing policy was perhaps required.

UK Revokes a China's Media CGTN Broadcasting license and Beijing Rebuts BBC as "Fake News”
China Global Television Network (CGTN), a subsidiary of China’s state-owned China Central Television, has been repeatedly questioned as biased. The Office of Communications (Ofcom) in the UK announced to revoke the local broadcasting license of CGTN today. On the other hand, the Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry criticized a BBC report from last month as fake news linking politics to the pandemic and asked for apologies.
Ofcom confirmed on Thursday after the investigation that Star China Media owned the broadcasting license of CGTN. However, this company has no right to control the editorial content of this station. Therefore, it does not meet the legal requirements for the license.
CGTN once requested to transfer the broadcasting license to a company called China Global Television Network Corporation. However, as the “important information” for the application is missing and the company are ultimately controlled by CCP, Ofcom refused the request for license transfer. Ofcom emphasized that they have already given enough chance to CGTN, but they still failed to comply with the law, so they decided to revoke its license.

British Law Firm Being Sanctioned and Responded on China's Stupidity: Independent Practitioners Can Have Different Views as Clients and Colleagues
Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China announced to sanction nine personnel and four entities, including British Essex Court Chambers. The chair of the Bar Human Rights Committee and Head of Cloisters Human Rights Practice Group, Schona Jolly, described the sanctions from China are “maladroit”, as lawyers are work in the same office but are all independent and might not agree with the views of clients and colleagues. She reiterated that China should accept the independent investigation by the international society on Xinjiang human rights problems instead of engaging “the diplomatic tactics”.
Schona Jolly also indicated that according to The Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers defined by the United Nations, lawyers' professional work should not be intimidated by sanctions and should not be implicated by clients. She stated that the sanctions to the whole lawyer office from China are “maladroit” as they work at the same office but are independent and self-employed practitioners, not necessarily sharing their professional points of views with other colleagues and clients. China sanctions the whole structure (i.e. the whole office) will only reflect their misunderstanding on the British law professional operations and the independence of lawyers.
