The Harvard Crimson, a student newspaper, reports that Harvard University's time-honored Mandarin learning program is relocating from Beijing to Taipei.* As confirmed by Program Director Jennifer L. Liu (劉力嘉), her students have received unfriendly treatment in China while celebrating Independence Day earlier this year. In addition, she mentions that another Beijing-based language flagship program (under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Defense) has already moved to Taiwan.

  In an email statement to Hong Kong Free Press regarding the above news, Harvard University's Associate Director of Communications Harry Pierre goes no further than saying that it is a planned move.# The Harvard Crimson, meanwhile, has learned from the Shanghai-based Harvard Center that most Harvard-affiliated institutions are expected to remain in China for now. There is no official reference to their future plans, however.   Planned or otherwise, Harvard's departure from Beijing has caught everyone by surprise. Its relocation to Taipei at this juncture is no less intriguing. It is quite telling, though, that no one seems to worry about American students going to learn Mandarin in Taipei amid the current Taiwan Strait crisis. One can't help but wonder if Taipei is safer than Beijing after all.     --- by Lingyang Jiang     * https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2021/10/7/harvardbeijingacademy/   # https://hongkongfp.com/2021/10/14/harvard-university-moves-chinese-language-summer-programme-from-beijing-to-taipei/     Beijing: A happier time for Harvard students back then  Photo: The Harvard Crimson

"与孔子学院的境遇有关" That's quite a rude awakening to Harvard.

I like Benjamin Franklin’s quote best: Love well. Whip well.
L
LYJiang
It’s Franklin-styled tough love,
L
LYJiang
Hate can be whipped up.
L
LYJiang
Love can be whipped up too.
L
LYJiang
Can love and hate be whipped up at the same time?
L
LYJiang
You bet.
L
LYJiang

In bilingual terms, this is a unique forum.
