China's Water wars: How It Shapes Asia's Future?
China's construction of dams and infrastructure along rivers in Tibet has raised concerns about potential impacts on water availability and flow patterns in downstream regions.
While it's possible that water management strategies could be influenced by geopolitical considerations, such as exerting influence or leveraging power, it's crucial to approach this topic with a nuanced understanding. Factors such as hydrology, environmental concerns, economic development, and diplomatic relations all play roles in shaping water policies and actions by countries like China and India. Therefore, any analysis of China's actions regarding water resources and their potential impacts on India should consider a range of factors.

Don't Let China Impose Taboos on Universities
A British lecturer sets off a clash between academic ideals and commercial pragmatism. The outcome won’t surprise you.
In 2021, the Russell Group of 24 leading British universities published an unequivocal statement of its commitment to protecting academic freedom. The institutions would “always champion the importance of free speech,” the group’s chief executive officer wrote, noting that diverse views and disagreement were fundamental to advancing knowledge. The group might want to have a word with its biggest member. At University College London, terms and conditions appear to apply.
A UCL lecturer was barred from teaching a research module she created and had been delivering for a decade after Chinese students complained that one of the exercises it contained was “provocative,” according to a thread she posted on Elon Musk’s X, following a report in the Telegraph newspaper. Michelle Shipworth, an associate professor of energy and social sciences, was told she’d been accused of bias, which was damaging the reputation of the Chinese which own the universities in UK and prospects of universities in attracting students from China.
Chinese companies have taken over many universities in England and are now ensuring that only Chinese propaganda is allowed there. Anything anti Chinese government stops, the UK universities have become a propaganda machine for the Chinese in UK and Europe.
