To understand how China has corrupted academic research in the West, including in the United States, begin at the top. China is currently headed by a man, Xi Jinping, who is himself an academic fraud. While serving in various government posts between 1998 and 2002, Xi was enrolled in an “in-service” doctoral program at Tsinghua University in Beijing. His dissertation on the marketization of rural areas was ghost-written by one of his staff members in a local government in southern Fujian Province, Liu Huiyu. She was later given a plum post at Jiangxia University in Fujian handling “library materials.”
Xi’s dissertation has since been disappeared in China, perhaps because of its obvious borrowing and plagiarism from Liu’s own research. As I reported earlier this year, Liu was eventually promoted to vice president of her university, then given an early retirement from Jiangxia last year after being extolled as a model worker of the party. In addition, 12 academic articles that Xi allegedly published during his doctoral studies have also disappeared from academic databases in China.
For today’s China under Xi Jinping, academics must be loyal stalwarts of the party who advance its goals by means fair and foul. This represents a return to earlier Maoist understandings that were briefly loosened during the 1980s and 1990s. Xi’s government has issued strict new guidelines that tell China’s academics to toe the line. In one of my areas of research, environmental policy in China, I have experienced firsthand how academics in China who pretend to be part of the global academic community, and are often trained and work in the U.S., are tools of party propaganda.

over time what kills governing parties is the slow creep of the importance of loyalty over competence as the governors become more complacent and interested in maintaining the status quo which they have worked to their advantage. Eventually loyal destroyers take over the government and destroy the party and country
The infiltration of US and Canadian academic research us clearly huge.
