Self-censoring is now a fact of academic life and those who pretend there’s no problem simply aren’t looking. University students are too scared to speak their minds in seminars because they fear ostracism by their peers, Oxford dons have claimed. freespeechunion.org/students-scare…

Time and time again, Judge Cannon has undermined the prosecution of the Trump classified documents case. She must be removed. That’s why we filed an amicus brief with former federal judge Nancy Gertner and legal scholars Stephen Gillers and James Sample. npr.org/2024/09/04/nx-…

“Economists have long grumbled that the National Bureau of Statistics does not provide enough detail about its methodologies. But China watchers used to assume that the data would gradually become more reliable. Instead the reverse seems to be happening.” economist.com/briefing/2024/…

Alabama is farming out incarcerated people to work at hundreds of companies, including McDonald’s & Wendy’s. They're denied parole to provide cheap labor, the state takes 40%, and they often get just $2/hr after all the deductions. This is modern day slavery.

This Taiwanese guy ran for election after setting up a minor political party that supported independence. The CCP arrested him while he was briefly visiting China. They handed him a 9 year prison sentence for “separatism” against the Chinese motherland. Don’t travel to China.

🇨🇳 Shi Fengyun, a graduate student from the University of Minnesota, has pled guilty to two out of six counts of violations under two provisions of the Espionage Act, which prohibits the photography of military installations and the use of unregistered drones to do so in national defense airspace. The US Department of Justice dismissed the remaining four counts. Shi could face up to two years in prison for the two charges and fines of $100,000 per count. asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Soci…

A 🇨🇳 grad student at University of Minnesota flew to Virginia to take pictures at Newport News Shipyard and BAE Systems where aircraft carriers and Virginia class nuclear submarines were being manufactured? 🇺🇸 Department of Justice is prosecuting a novel Espionage Act case involving a drone, a 🇨🇳 national, and classified nuclear submarines. On Jan 5, 2024, Fengyun Shi flew to Virginia while on leave from his graduate studies at the University of Minnesota and rented a Tesla at the airport. His research focused on using AI to detect signs of crop disease in photos. Shi’s subject that week wasn’t plants, however, but allegedly the local shipyards — the only ones manufacturing the latest generation of Navy carrier ships in the country, and nuclear submarines as well. A shipyard security officer alerted the Naval Criminal Investigative Service to Shi’s actions. On Jan 6, Shi was flying a drone in “inclement weather” before it got stuck in a neighbor’s tree. When Shi, who is a 🇨🇳 citizen, approached the neighbor for help, he was questioned about his nationality and purpose for being in the area. The unnamed resident took photos of Shi, his license plate, and his ID, and called the police. Shi was “very nervous” when questioned by police and “did not have any real reasons” for flying a drone in bad weather. The police gave Shi the number for the fire department and said he would need to stay on the scene. Instead, he returned the rental car an hour later and left Hampton Roads, Virginia, abandoning the drone. When the FBI seized the drone and pulled the photos off its memory card, they discovered images taken at Newport News Shipyard and BAE Systems, which is a 45-minute drive away. On the day Shi took the photos, the Newport News Shipyard was “actively manufacturing” aircraft carriers and Virginia class nuclear submarines. “Naval aircraft carriers have classified and sensitive systems throughout the carriers,” the affidavit states. “The nuclear submarines present on that date also have highly classified and sensitive Navy Nuclear Propulsion Information (‘NNPI’) and those submarines even in the design and construction phase are sensitive and classified.” The DOJ is charging Shi with six Espionage Act misdemeanors under two statutes: one banning photographing a vital military installation and one banning the use of an aircraft to do so. Each misdemeanor can result in up to a year in prison upon conviction. While he awaits trial, Shi is restricted to living in Virginia under probation. He had surrendered his passport. dronexl.co/2024/05/30/chi… wired.com/story/fengyun-…
