Alberta has tapped Gordon Houlden, who served as executive director of the University of Alberta’s China Institute think tank, to come up with recommendations by early 2023
with Chinese state entities, citing concerns over national security and the risk that the research could be used to facilitate human-rights abuses. The order affected the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary, the University of Lethbridge and Athabasca University, institutions with a strong research focus.
“They see nations as either potential adversaries or potential client states, to be threatened, bribed or coerced,” Sir Fleming said. She said a major red flag for Canadian university researchers should be whether their potential partner is doing work with the Chinese military. The enticement of civilian researchers in China to collaborate with the military – what’s been called “military-civil fusion” under President Xi Jinping – means Canadian universities need to be wary of research work that could be hijacked by Beijing.
