Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government has faced “wild resistance” to a mandate that students at top universities study the Chinese language, a Kremlin adviser acknowledged, but it intends to forge ahead.
“There will be no violence, we will convince, but at the same time, we will move in this direction if we want to be competitive,” Kremlin science and technology adviser Andrei Fursenko said, per an unofficial translation of a state media report.Russian students at at least one major university have condemned the mandate as “absurd and harmful,” but Fursenko maintained it is essential given China’s prominence in science and technology industries.
Fursenko, speaking at a youth education forum, asserted that about 30% of scientific research texts are written in Chinese, according to RIA Novosti. That line of Kremlin reasoning overstates the significance of Chinese language sources in the field, according to a prominent Russian astrophysicist who sided with the disgruntled students of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
