Change to Chinese university's charter dropping 'freedom of thought'

The website linked is (currently) the Japan Times, but it's a Reuters story. Maybe it would be better to link to it directly: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-university/change-t...

I would rather the drama of bickering with others and putting up with people who disgust me (as a result of freedom of thought and speech laws), than the terrifying tyranny that is China's system. It is also tyrannical what is happening in India right now, with the systematic marginalisation of Muslim people.

We need more decentralisation of power. That's the common problem here, right? Singular governments trying to rule too many people at once? The world has diversity - it's not meant to be a monoculture.

I spent two years in Tsinghua University doing my master's degree a couple of years ago. Even though Chinese universities never enjoyed the freedom of speech/research/though as in the west, putting it on paper is very sad.

>“If I may dare to ask those who initiated the amendment of the Fudan University charter, how do you expect our generation of Fudan people to face our ancestors?” said one Weibo user.

Is this the equivalent of linking a tweet?

The phrase was replaced with the wording, "If you think freely it will cost you."
