On September 29, a doctoral freshman at Xi'an Jiaotong University was asked by their supervisor to change advisors and was removed from the group chat after applying for leave to go home for the National Day holiday, citing 'incompatible research philosophies.' They were told that the leave request was denied, they were not allowed to leave campus, and that they would bear the consequences if they violated the order.[Student Rights and Interests][Xi'an][Educational Coercion][Xi'an Jiaotong University]
