Well, whether it is reflective of domestic indoctrination or the perpetrators are professional provocateurs, China and Chinese exchange students have created a minefield for academic and speech freedom in many American universities. As American education institutions and media have grown increasingly accustomed to Chinese funding or market share. Academics have been the subject of harassment campaigns for bringing up human rights and other issues regarding China. Media corporations edit material to meet Chinese government demands. The latter is markers and the almighty dollar. The former is more concerning. Basically backfiring any pretext that exposure to Western culture will automatically promote freedom in China.
