Merger proposal edit

The article's incident is unnoticeable outside of the context of wider criticisms of Confucius Institutes, which has its dedicated article. Therefore I propose this article be merged into Criticism of Confucius Institutes.--LucasGeorge (talk) 07:44, 17 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Oppose merge on the grounds that having parent/child articles (WP:SUMMARY) would seem to work better. Criticism of Confucius Institutes at 128k is already too long (WP:TOOBIG), and the Braga incident page is well-referenced from multiple sources (suggesting independent notability). The incident page should certainly be better linked from the main page, and I've attempted to do so by adding links and adding a 'further information' template. I think that that suffices.

The thing is, the section in the Criticism of Confucius Institutes article is longer and better than this article. I would suggest, roughly, replacing this article with the material in the Criticism of Confucius Institutes article and replacing the material in the above article with a brief summary and link to t his article.Bill (talk) 06:02, 21 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Description of incident edit

The description of the incident is incomprehensible. In one paragraph it says that Xu Lin demanded the removal of references to Taiwanese institutions. In the next paragraph it says that she demanded the removal of references to the Confucius China Studies Program, which is a PRC program. It is also not made clear how Xu Lin obtained control of the materials distributed at the conference. Did she simply steal the printed materials? Or did she exert pressure on the organizers? Or was she herself one of the organizers and in charge of the conference?Bill (talk) 05:49, 21 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
