Guess we shall see who is bent over the barrell.
Professor, university or student. If they allow it, wellâŚguess that school can get crossed off the list of places offering âhigherâ education.
ââŚtelling him that Taiwan âis not a countryâ and is not recognized by the European Union.â
The professor is not wrong regarding the EUâs position.
doesnât matter
Iâm confused why he would even change it to China? Part of college is being able to be an adult and stand up for yourself.
Iâve corrected the professor and have asked them why I was graded a certain grade. Maybe itâs an American thing 
itâs part of the experience.
Could be lots of reasons: a Confucian deference to authority, the fact that the professor controlled the studentâs grade (and grades are important for students), the technicality that the EU doesnât currently recognize Taiwan as a country for obvious political reasons, the possibility that the student might want to work in China in the future and doesnât want to be labelled a political problem, and so on, etcâŚ
This esteemed professorâs biography (which Iâm sure he wrote himself) is littered with grammatical errors (eg: âSince 2001, he has startedâŚâ = mixing present perfect and simple past). I suppose itâs not that relevant, but stillâŚ
Look at all these innocent Chinese people.
Incidentally, the video was originally posted by Chen himself to the Chinese app WeChat on March 18, along with pictures showing how the student had changed his country of origin to âChinaâ as a result of the professorâs âcommunication.â
However, it only began to draw attention after it was posted to Twitter on March 24 by Wu Lebao (ĺłć¨ĺŻś), a Chinese dissident who has received asylum in Australia.

Petition ¡ SACK ChenZhen from Politechnico Di Milan ¡ Change.org Everyone sign and share the petition
Shameful. As an Italian, this is twice as shameful to hear. Sad thing is that he wonât be sacked in the end. Italian politicians mostly bow to China and the few who voice out their opposition are just drops in the ocean. Just recently political pressure forced the Bologna Childrenâs Book Fair into removing the name âTaiwanâ from a Taiwanese artistâs work as a compromise instead of writing âTaiwan, Chinaâ. Shameful. Shameful. Shameful.
I donât support what this professor did, but seems to me we all advocate for cancel culture when it suits our purpose.
He is abusing his position as an architecture professor to bully students.
Worse part? The professor was technically correct. The EU should be canceled and petitioned. Got to scape goat and blame random people instead of petitioning the government to change.
So should the governments of the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and all of the rest of the 180 countries (out of 193) that recognize the PRC as the legitimate government of Taiwan.
I wouldnât hold my breath.
No they donât. They say that there is only one China, they do not say the PRC is the legitimate government of Taiwan. Because otherwise they wouldnât recognize Taiwanese passports, or have offices in Taiwan that issues visa of those countries.
Agree and as an employee of the university (not of the PRC Embassy, Confucius Institute, etc.) he can only reprimand students if they violate his employerâs regulations, not because they hurt his personal feelings or political convictions. If he believes that it is wrong not to write âTaiwan, Chinaâ on a thesis, he should bring it up to his employer and not to the internet (and his student).
Sorry @deepshelter , I didnât mean to tag you 
Yeah I donât see it as cancel culture. He is abusing his position. âThis wonât effect your scoreâŚâ
A post was split to a new topic: General insult towards entire country/race
Itâs not cancel culture. Thereâs a teacher bullying a student. Itâs not that this teacher has a specific political bias or a controvert personal opinion on X. Itâs a professor being an asshole.
