While Harvard\u2019s ties with China are essential to a globalized education, Harvard should stand up for academic freedom and structure its partnerships with foreign universities carefully.<\/p>\n<p>While Peking University has claimed that its\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/02\/10\/us\/chinese-dissident-lands-at-cato-institute-with-a-caution-to-colleges.html?_r=0\">decision<\/a>\u00a0to terminate Xia Yeliang\u2019s position can be purely attributed to academic and not political reasons, there is strong reason to suspect that Xia\u2019s outspoken and liberal politics played a role in his dismissal. Xia helped draft Charter 08, which called for major pro-democratic change. The petition\u2019s primary author is another persecuted scholar-dissident\u2014Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo. \u00a0And heightened state attention in the lead-up to Xia\u2019s firing coincided with a political social media push from Xia abroad in the U.S. As he transitions to a new position at the Cato Institute, American universities are faced with the difficult decision of whether or not to react against Peking University and China\u2019s free speech restrictions by terminating partnerships. Harvard, as of yet, has not\u2014and should not.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]\u00a0Partnerships with China, a mutually advantageous relationship for China\u2019s economy and for global-minded students, offer benefits that Harvard cannot pass up. Cutting ties will solve little\u2014but will isolate academic populations and curb the longer-term idea exchange that fosters real progress. Still, in the wake of Xia\u2019s dismissal, we must proceed with heightened awareness for the academic values Harvard as an institution stands for.
