This is just ridiculous. This goes way beyond what they originally intended with stopping suspected IP Theft or backdoors by Huawei. This is a black day for academic progress and research in general.

Google Scholar or Wikipedia websites has been banned in China for a decade, Do you think this is ridiculous?

Actually, Chinese government don't want us to know more about the real history of the Cultural Revolution and something sensitive in politics.

Ridiculous and a laughable accusation. The page you referred to has nothing substantial. Both Rosenberg and Hiss are proved to be innocent quickly but lots of people became silent because of McCarthy. If you want to go back to the dark ages, go yourself. Do not put your insensible sense to all the knowledgable people here.

Are you challenging the fact that the U.S.S.R. had extensive espionage networks in the U.S. during the 1950s, including the Rosenbergs who were in fact guilty of spying for the Soviet Union? McCarthysim per se was horrible, but the fact remains that the Red Scare was grounded in historical truth. https://www.amazon.com/Venona-Decoding-Espionage-America-Com... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_and_Ethel_Rosenberg

If you hunt witches, there will always be witches to burn. If you try hard enough, any American can be a USSR spy.

Why is that a reason to ban academics?

These Chinese gov did't intend to ban academics, but political materials. But since they value their own benefits much higher than the benefits of academics to the Chinese people, they ban all the things, maybe because it's not technically easy to just ban individual pages given the huge amount of the materials. That's a very bad thing to ban the free Internet access.

Hi all, For those who are not familiar. Google is indeed banned because the CHN gov does not want us to see political adversary contents. However, google is available in the University I am working at for accessing research materials, especially scholars.google.com. I guess you were right, politics are banned, but academics aren't

We need to kill Huawei first, with some collateral damages to others, so that Huawei cannot do bad things to us in the future, even though there is no evidence or court ruling that Huawei is hacking anyone at this moment. Last time it was Iraq's WMD/washing powder.

Then you happy with surveillance by US gov everyday with Apple, Google, Amazon right? We feel happy when accuse others but never think about ourselves and the ‘ethical’ gov.

It seems that Huawei is the US hostage in the China-US trade negotiations. I wonder who the US company will be that China will decides to screw over in retaliation?

I don't really believe Chinese gov will play the same card to obtain leverages for the trade war, or maybe the last card

Shame. And if you google "ieee Huawei", you can still find several news like "celebrating the release of new standard co-operated by Huawei and IEEE" on the first page. Now their version should be changed to "IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional organization(under the guide of U.S. gov) dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of the U.S." In the past, even physical war accelerates the development of tech(most for weapons tho some could be utilized to daily life), and now politics are forcing tech to go reverse. Wonderful.
