Studies and publications on/related to China are still relatively few in number in academia as well as the think sector (as expertise on the topic is lacking). Yet, propagandist content has been detected in large academic institutions (such as the University of National and World Economy) that maintain connections to Chinese counterparts and occasionally publish on China. Therefore, this indicator deserves a "few" but significant rating.

Most academics on China try to keep a neutral position when it comes to human rights and the country's development, and therefore they concentrate their efforts in historic, cultural or economic matters. When touching upon the issue, academics and students would also maintain (generally) a neutral position, even if they have connections with Chinese organizations. Nevertheless, exceptions are notable, and this indicator deserves a "few" rating. Jorge Heine is a former ambassador to China and also an academic who is part of a Chinese Studies program at Universidad de Chile and at the Boston University, US. He has rutinely defended the Chinese system, and recently published a book on Xi Jinping claims such as: "centering the debate around Human Rights does not help" and calling the Xinjiang camps "de-radicalization" campaigns. Since there is an open debate on the issue and other academics actually criticize China's Human Rights record, this indicator deserves an "insignificant" rating.

Martin Jacques, a former Senior Fellow at the University of Cambridge, has written multiple pieces criticising the US's hawkish stance on China and praising China's model of development. He has written frequently for the Global Times, a PRC-controlled outlet. For instance, he placed the blame solely on Pelosi for raising tensions over Taiwan during her visit in 2022. Dr Ping Hua, a researcher at the University of Southampton, has also contributed multiple one-sided pieces accusing the West of actively inciting a Cold War on China and unfairly targeting Confucius Institutes to the Morning Star, a socialist publication. While other scholars have adopted narratives similar to those used by the PRC, few have unquestioningly parroted the PRC's talking point and it would be unfair to characterise them as such. Therefore, this Indicator deserves a 'Few' rating. As it is unlikely that the scholars mentioned above are seen as impartial commentators on China in the public sphere, this Indicator deserves an 'Insignificant' rating. It is important to highlight that British scholars enjoy freedom of speech and can publish articles adopting PRC narratives out of their own volition.
