Cant the chinese government revoke degrees? This seems like a very easily abused law.
Yeah, it is a double edged sword I think - I like the alleged idea behind it but it can easily be used to silence unwanted ideas. But it's not like free speech is a thing in China these days :( I suppose the same regulation in any European country would be a higher contrast (= more porblematic) with existing rights.
😂
Imagine the credentials you'd need to be considered a expert in this administration.
