"In February, Sheffield Hallam University, home to the Helena Kennedy Centre for International Justice (HKC), a leading research institution focused on human rights, ordered one of its best-known professors, Laura Murphy, to cease research on supply chains and forced labour in China."
Academic freedom is threatened by institutional conflicts of interest. Her research has been reinstated after she said she would take legal action.

I don't want the UK to be further sucked in to the US led campaign against China, but stuff like this obstructs efforts to tamp down Sinophobia.

There is much to dislike about Xi Jinping's government, but Keir Starmer and his successors in Downing St must ensure that the UK avoids following the US into confrontation with China.
Although the Democrats are much less crude and rash than Trump and the Republicans, they are no less committed to maintaining US global hegemony and keeping China down.
This US policy serves neither the national interests of the UK nor those of progressive politics in general. Instead, the UK should draw closer to the EU to forge common policies for global prosperity, environmental regulation, and security. Relations with Xi Jinping's China won't be miraculously facilitated by the UK moving in this direction, but they will be markedly better than they would be were the UK to fall in behind the US.

We can all agree that Prince Andrew is a half-witted oaf, but might we not also worry that this story is starting to fuel sinophobia?
I disagree with lots of Chinese government policies, nor do I think that their intentions in the UK are entirely benign, but such caveats apply to many other governments too.
Is such alarm about Yang Tengbo really warranted? Aren't his efforts to learn about power in the UK and exercise whatever influence he can there on behalf of his government similar to the practices of both foreign missions and businesses in the UK and to the activities of the UK in China?
We need to think carefully about all dimensions of UK -- China relations; thinking carefully requires not thoughtlessly falling into a new Cold War mentality and recognizing that both Yellow Peril racism and securocrat lobbying could be at work here.
