Liberal Senator James Paterson says universities must be more discerning on partnerships between Australian universities and Chinese companies. It comes after a security report by the federal parliament provided recommendations to the Foreign Minister concerning the funding and academic autonomy of Confucius institutes on Australian university campuses. “It is important that universities control the curriculum and hiring and firing of staff,” Mr Paterson told Sky News Australia. “It is important for universities to reflect; do they really want to be party to a soft-power exercise for a foreign, authoritarian government which has engaged in systemic human rights abuses, and has even been accused of genocide?”
