💨 Abstract
A report by the UK-China Transparency (UKCT) think tank reveals that Chinese students in UK universities are pressured to spy on their peers by Chinese officials. The report also indicates widespread Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence, with lecturers facing restrictions on discussing sensitive topics. The Chinese embassy denies these allegations. The UK's Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023 aims to prevent universities from censoring controversial ideas, with potential fines for non-compliance.
