they're CIA as NYT. The author of both articles works at Stanford and looky here. https://news.stanford.edu/report/2021/02/12/faculty-senate-seeks-future-report-increased-collaboration-hoover-institution-stanford/ He's a professor of comparative literature and he originally testified AGAINST the Hoover institution taking over.
“But too much of what we have seen coming out of the Hoover has made a travesty of honest intellectual debate, because an excess of partisanship has led some Hoover fellows out of the realm of fact, science and good faith argumentation,” he said."
The CIA has done it many times before, same with the MI6 in the UK (The Greyzone has covered it and interviewed the professors themselves). They threaten to get professors fired if they don't play ball. I think this guy just went along with them after he was threatened. He's also a perfect candidate for such an article because he has an Asian-ish last name, and it seems like the CIA prefers "China bad" articles to be authored by Asian people, for whatever reason. As an aside, this is why I said maybe Chomsky is self-censoring less because he's getting old and doesn't give a fuck about CIA threats anymore.
The institution’s “purpose,” as Hoover defined it in 1959, “must be, by its research and publications, to demonstrate the evils of the doctrines of Karl Marx — whether Communism, Socialism, economic materialism, or atheism — thus to protect the American way of life from such ideologies, their conspiracies, and to reaffirm the validity of the American system.” Sounds exactly like the goal of the CIA.
Very interesting use of the word "conspiracies" here though. I wonder if that word was in vogue back then.

I've been having this thought for a while but haven't been sure enough to say it out loud. This article is plenty enough to push me over the edge.
