      What? Why would the Australian state stop academics from criticizing China when it’s busy manufacturing consent for war with China? I’m sure it’s very much encouraging academia to criticize China.

        Has nothing to do with international politics or government diplomacy…

        … it’s coming from the universities themselves, because they’re run as private businesses already, and they service the needs of international students as their primary income.

        Which means some censorship of Chinese political history. Eg. Tianamen.
