University of Sydney in ‘cross-hairs’ over ‘Communist Party links’: Chris Smith

Описание: The University of Sydney is in the “cross-hairs of a major controversy” over possible links to the Chinese Communist Party, according to Sky News host Chris Smith.

Editors of the campus’ newspaper have been blasted for pulling an article which identified several academics presently at the university with connections to the CCP.

Mr Smith discussed the issue with MedCare Asia Pacific Director Andrew Phelan who said it was an “emerging, unfolding story”.

Mr Phelan said the academics were accused of being associated with programs like China’s 1000 talents and affiliated with Chinese universities who are linked to the People’s Liberation Army.

“Those academics are still in various universities around Australia and around the world.”
