Ethics: China Bans US Professors

A friend of mine forwarded along a collection of accounts about how China has banned certain US and Canadian professors from coming to China because the work of the professors states or implies political content that doesn't agree with China's leaders:

• The 13 authors of “Xinjiang: China’s Muslim Borderland”
• "Perry Link, a professor emeritus at Princeton University who teaches at the University of California, Riverside, hasn’t been able to enter China since 1995, he said. Link smuggled a dissident astrophysicist into the U.S. embassy in Beijing during the 1989 Tiananmen Square uprising and helped edit the “Tiananmen Papers,” a 2002 collection of leaked internal documents.
• Link’s co-editor on the “Tiananmen Papers,” Columbia University Professor Andrew Nathan, said he is also blacklisted.
