Australian Senator Eric Abetz is urging Australian universities and government research organisations to reconsider their academic collaborations with the Chinese regime, amid concerns that the regime is attempting to control the narrative related to the origins of the CCP virus, commonly known as the coronavirus.
Abetz said that the restrictions placed by the Chinese regime on academic publications that report on the origins of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus have reaffirmed the view that the Chinese regime seeks to “stifle and control academic freedom within its own country and others.”
