further on the Confucius Institutes saga:
Stockholm University in Stockholm, Sweden, has scrapped its Confucius Institute, in place since 2005. It was one of the first installed anywhere, and the first in Europe.
The university's chancellor S?derbergh Widding told the Swedish press that the reason was that other China links now fulfilled the need -- suggesting that the CI had become obsolete. Moreover, she concluded (in a turnaround of opinion) that "Generally it is questionable to have, within the framework of the university, institutes that are financed by another country."
关于孔子学院的进一步消息,
瑞典斯德哥尔摩市内的斯德哥尔摩大学,废掉了(scrapped)它的“孔子学院”,孔子学院从2005年起就在这所大学内。这里的“孔子学院”是欧洲的第一所。
斯德哥尔摩大学的负责人S?derbergh Widding告诉瑞典媒体说,关闭孔子学院的原因是,该校与中国的其他联系已经可以替代孔子学院了,意指孔子学院已经陈旧过时了。另外,她表示(用一种拐弯抹角、引述语气的观点)“一般来说,在大学的体系里有一个外国资助的机构是很有问题的”。
