Based on the original article, it is pretty much exactly like that. The newspaper talked to both sides and clearly believes the student over the professor. It seems everything else are excuses by the Prof and the university (which has plenty of cooperations with China).
Now, if the student was technically enrolled at the University or the prof was "only" his PhD advisor, does not change anything about the story.

- disgruntledphd2 5y agoThat article should definitely be the OP here, as it's much, much more informative than the Reddit posts.

- ChemSpider 5y agoNo need for a translation. There is an original English version of the article: https://www.nzz.ch/english/swiss-phd-students-dismissal-spotlights-chinas-influence-ld.1638771 https://www.nzz.ch/english/swiss-phd-students-dismissal-spot...
- amadsen 5y agoThe NZZ, for what it is worth, is probably the most highly regarded newspaper in Switzerland when it comes to journalistic integrity. It has a clear political bias to the right, but very high credibility.
