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.

Chinese Student Say "Chinese virus" Harms the World Peace, Professor Gets Suspended.
A Chinese international student at the University of Cincinnati says he was hurt when a professor on campus used the racist term "Chinese Virus" to describe COVID-19, and that it would give Chinese people a poor impression which would harm friendly exchanges and peace around the world.
China concealed the epidemic and eventually led to a global spread of the virus, with the United States leading the list of countries with the highest number of confirmed cases and deaths. An Engineering Professor at the University of Cincinnati, John Ucker, delivered an email to a student earlier, stating that He would not give a score to students who are diagnosed with the "Chinese virus". The student's classmate posted the screenshot of the email on Twitter with 34,000 retweets and 166,000 likes. Comments on the post were polarized - calls for the school to take action on Ucker, and showing support for the use of the wording in question.

Tibetan-American Policeman Arrested, Long Suspected of Infiltrating Tibetan Community in New York for China
Tibetan-American New York City Police Officer Baimadajie Angwang was arrested in late September on suspicion of being an agent for the Chinese government. This incident shocked the Tibetan community in New York. A Tibetan said Angwang does not know the Tibetan language well, told numerous lies, and had never even revealed his actual name. As a liaison between the Tibetan community and the law enforcement authorities, Anwang was welcomed by the community at first. As he acted suspiciously, however, the community became alert to his presence.
According to a member of the Tibetan community, Angwang first met them in January last year. Back then, he introduced himself as Ngawang Dhargyal in the Tibetan language, claiming that he had come from the Gyalrong region on the border of Tibet and Sichuan. Angwang had frequently attended their activities since then, sometimes in police uniform and offering counsel to Tibetan teenagers. During a celebration of the Tibetan New Year, he took a photo with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a rising star in the US House of Representatives.
But the community soon became wary of Angwang as he openly criticised Dorjee Tseten, a member of the Tibet Parliament in Exile as well as the CEO of the Asian division of Students for a Free Tibet, for his pro-Tibetan independence comments at the New Year event. Angwang said Tibetan community organizations should avoid sensitive political topics. He also repeatedly reminded members of the community not to be involved in politics and making such suggestions as removing the snow lion flag of Tibet hung outside the community centre. The members followed the advice as, according to Angwang, they could receive donations from Chinese businesses if they were not involved in political activities.
