China would be coordinating this with EU forces

China’s is a the most important supporter of Russia in the war against Ukraine, Chinese companies are already actively investing in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine, China’s envoy for Europe openly said that former Soviet states have no independent legal status, just to name some examples. These things don’t make China a good ally for Europeans.

(In the meantime, China rejected reports it will deploying a contingent to Ukraine as far as I read. But it wouldn’t a good idea for Europe imho.)

What for heaven’s sake are “foreign-related statistical investigations”?

And so did Germany, Canada, Mexico (here is a brief article).

I can’t find this quote.

First They Came for Columbia

First, Harvard’s failure to speak out discourages other, more vulnerable universities from taking action, which undermines our collective defenses. If Columbia or another university confronts the administration on its own, it will lose. If America’s nearly 6,000 universities and colleges launch a campaign in defense of higher education, odds are that Trump will lose.

Someone must lead this collective effort. And if Harvard and other leading universities remain in their protective shells, there is a good chance that no one will.

Second, and crucially, silence cedes the public debate. Public opinion is not formed in a vacuum. The social science research is clear: In the absence of a countervailing message, a one-sided debate will powerfully shape public opinion. As long as he faces no public counter-argument from leaders of higher education, Trump will punish universities and pay no cost in the court of public opinion. If Harvard and other universities make a vigorous defense of higher education and principles of free speech and democracy, much of the public will rally to its side […]

In related news, Trump’s FBI Moves to Criminally Charge Major Climate Groups:

The FBI is moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Biden administration.

Citibank revealed in a court filing Wednesday that it was told to freeze the groups’ bank accounts at the FBI’s request. The reason? The FBI alleges that the groups are involved in “possible criminal violations,” including “conspiracy to defraud the United States.”

Is this going to be another misnomer for a model that isn’t actually open? The quote doesn’t give me much hope.

The quote says it will be fully open. What makes you think it will not?
