flag UK report alleges Chinese students face pressure to spy, amid new academic freedom laws.

flag A report by the UK-China Transparency think tank alleges that Chinese students at UK universities are being pressured to spy on classmates to suppress discussions critical of the Chinese government. flag This comes as a new law enforces universities to uphold academic freedom and free speech, with potential fines for non-compliance. flag The Chinese embassy dismissed the report as "groundless and absurd," while the UK's Office for Students emphasized the importance of free speech in higher education. flag The report also claims that some Chinese academics face visa denials and threats to family members due to their work in the UK.
