Key points:

- One came from a foreign university linked to a nuclear weapons program
- New laws clamping down on foreign influence in public universities were introduced in 2018
The projects rejected include a research proposal from a Chinese multinational technology company based in Shenzhen, which the university said came at “significant financial cost” and “put the renewal of staff employment contracts in jeopardy”.
