Webinar Clip: Attempted Silencing on Campus

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) engages in the world’s most comprehensive campaign of transnational repression, targeting exile communities, members of the diaspora, and supporters in dozens of countries around the world with digital surveillance, attempted censorship, and even physical attacks. This campaign has also reached university campuses in the United States, generating discussion among faculty, students, administrators, and policymakers.

As a new academic year begins, experts on transnational repression, Beijing’s influence on university campuses, and the persecution of Falun Gong shed light on how CCP surveillance, slander, and censorship impinge upon free expression and belief at American universities, and what university administrators and government officials can do to respond.

Hosted by the Falun Dafa Information Center and moderated by leading Confucius Institute expert, Ian Oxnevad of the National Association of Scholars, this webinar offers new insight into the key challenges facing universities and recommendations for action to best protect freedom of speech and belief for all students, faculty, and members of the campus community.
