主题：两个关于MIT陈刚院士官司的情况 -- 方平
家园 蓬佩奥应该是主谋，报复MIT不给他面子喷中国 Pompeo shames MIT, calls Chinese authorities ‘jackbooted thugs’ in remarks about academic freedomUS Secretary of State Mike Pompeo dialled up his anti-China rhetoric on Wednesday, referring to authorities in the country as “jackbooted thugs” while also calling out the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for declining to host his address about national security threats posed Beijing.
Speaking at Georgia Institute of Technology, Pompeo, America’s top diplomat, asserted in a discussion that many Chinese students doing research in the US “are returning home to suffer”.
“A Fulbright student coming in from some country ought not be returned to their home country and to suffer from the jackbooted thugs that now want to take the information that they got, send them back into the United States only to have them just take a little bit more information that they’re going to hand off to the Chinese [Ministry of State Security] … or the People’s Liberation Army”, he said.
其中这句话，暴露了蓬佩奥报复MIT的原因：
“MIT wasn’t interested in having me to their campus to give this exact set of remarks,” Pompeo said in his opening address. The school’s president, L. Rafael Reif, he added, “implied that my arguments might insult their ethnic Chinese students and professors”.被MIT拒了之后，于是伊便换了个学校喷中国了，包括MIT。喷中国是jackbooted thug（长靴暴徒，大约是类比纳粹士兵），喷MIT是想保护将被蓬佩奥喷的中国留学生与教授们。
看来，陈刚院士是蓬佩奥报复行动的直接牺牲品。
我觉得有点丢人，给蓬佩奥喷中国与MIT的学校居然是。。。
