"Think about current crises: how would the UCD president feel if a Putin-led campaign to spread Russian Institutes globally resulted in a Russian politics course being taught by an arm of that Institute in UCD?" irishtimes.com/opinion/diarm…
What is really behind Prof Deeks’ ties to China? Most countries around the world are closing down Confucius Institutes. Why is he insisting China gets its claws into UCD? irishtimes.com/opinion/edito…

“University leaders must recognise that the great hope of the past two decades – that China was steadily opening up politically as its economy became more competitive – has been dashed. A Maoist personality cult has been established.”
“It is obvious some in Britain’s universities have lost their moral bearings and are not promoting academic freedom, but undermining our strategic interests.” 🇬🇧 🇨🇳 dailymail.co.uk/debate/artic…

My statement welcoming the release of Richard O'Halloran from 3 years detention in China michaelmcdowell.ie/release-o… #richardohalloran

And now that he's safely within Europe, it needs to be pointed out that Richard O'Halloran's ordeal could easily be inflicted on anyone who does business or travels to China. His case is a warning to us all.

Great to see Richard O’Halloran reunited with his family after three years. Presumably next step is for govt to rethink Ireland's business relationship with China, and better warn Irish firms there is no independent judiciary and rule of law is arbitrary independent.ie/irish-news/th…

Thank you everyone for all your support. We are so unbelievably happy to have him back…

Are there any circumstances under which Ireland would seize a Chinese businessman and hold him here for three years the way the Chinese authorities seized #richardohalloran?

On a great day for the O'Halloran family, reducing dependency on China needs to become a national priority. From October 2020.
