Meh. Americans would call Ronald Reagan a Marxist nowadays. Only a nation without any semblance of actual leftism in its body politic could be so confused.
Also, you appear to be referring obliquely to Cultural Marxism[0], a right-wing conspiracy theory originally created by Nazis linking Western intellectualism and academia to a secret Communist or Marxist agenda. In the context of the linked article, the Trump-era neo-McCarthyist program described, that bogeyman of the Jewish/Marxist academic has been replaced by that of the Chinese operative, with the concern being intellectual property theft, rather than Marxist indoctrination.
It's a thought-provoking article. You should read it and consider providing a substantive comment.

#4Regardless of the proportions between truth and exaggeration in this article - today's political climate is becoming like a playground for psychopaths that are willing to push the xenophobia-buttons of the crowd in service of their own purposes.
Articles like these make me formulate various escape plans in my head, even though I'm not Asian. I'm not part of the majority group where I live. What if one day my ethnicity becomes targeted by other people's arrangements of bad reputation? How will I start a new life?

I quote Zizek from the Peterson debate - “Where are these postmodern Marxists?”
The number of universities offering any sort of heterodox economics in the US is in the low tens. As somebody with an economics degree, I’d love for you to prove that the average western university even teaches about Marxism at all.

#7In mere decades the nation will look back at these cases against respectable academics as what they truly are: blatant, nonsensical xenophobia.
Academic collaboration is “Chinese ties?” Incredible that these cases are even being sent to trial with 0 evidence of these professors sending any kind of sensitive information to China.

I’d love for you to list even 5 western universities that have courses on MMT. In addition, equivocating MMT to central planning (which is in your view, equivalent to Marxism?) is completely nonsensical.
