THis is pretty much exactly why I am here. Lots of Oz unis, some US unis and one or 2 UK unis (Nottingham is one I know of) have opened Chinese campuses. Very lucrative and much admired by UK Tory plc etc. Strathclyde wants in on this and this is when I discovered that raher than being a good citizen by coming out to entertain the locals, my entire dept now hated me (slight overstatement)cos they view links with China as link to institutional breach of human rts. I d think frankly given almost every world class uni in world has links with China now (money talks!), they really won;t give a shit if Strathclyde cold shoulders them :)
