A day after thousands of Communist Party delegates voted to have  President Xi Jinpingâs  thought included in the official party dogma  one of the countryâs elite universities immediately opened a research center dedicated to his ideology.
Within the next few days around 40 universities followed suit  scrambling to set up their own centers for âXi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in a New Era.â
Itâs the latest example of the narrowing space for independent thought in modern China  and the ever tighter ideological controls being imposed under  Xiâs  rule  foreign and domestic experts said. It is also at odds with Chinaâs ambitions to be a global power in academia as the space for constructive debate narrows.
The first to announce  a research center dedicated to Xi Jinping Thought  was Renmin University of China in Beijing  one of the nationâs most respected higher education institutions with links to more than 200 other universities around the globe.
It opened  the center  on Oct. 25  just one day after thousands of Communist Party delegates unanimously voted to absorb the cumbersome phrase into their constitution  alongside Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory.
âFrom the aspect of the development of our country  the establishment of  the research center  is of great historical significance â Liu Wei  president of the university and director of  the new center  told Chinese media. âIt is an important responsibility given to the school by our times â

SOLUTION: Chinese universities scramble to open centers to study President Xi Jinping Thought

PROBLEM: And it would appear that some of those funds come from helping  disgraced provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos  make money.
Earlier this month  following ThinkProgress’s reporting   Yiannopoulos  parted ways with Shopify  a Canadian company that had prior provided Yiannopoulos with a means of monetizing the latest white nationalist memes — even though  Yiannopoulos  had collaborated with white supremacists and was fired from Breitbart for his seeming willingness to condone pedophilia.
On Monday  however   Yiannopoulos  launched “Dangerous ” which he claimed would be “the leading destination for media from the New Right.” The site was password-protected sometime Monday afternoon but the “Dangerous Boutique” store that went live alongside it remains online — as is  Yiannopoulos ’s apparent partnership with Stripe.
 Yiannopoulos ’s current slate of products range from “Feminism is Cancer” mugs to Batman-ripoff T-shirts. He is also selling a shirt that reads that “Milo did nothing wrong ” an apparent reference to his pedophilia-related comments that forced him out of Breitbart.
Stripe’s involvement with  Yiannopoulos ’s new store – which remains one of his sole sources of revenue  following his recent fallout with hedge fund manager Robert Mercer – becomes clear when users try to purchase any items from  Yiannopoulos ’s store.
ThinkProgress’s questions to Stripe went unanswered  and it remains unclear if Stripe is aware that  Yiannopoulos  is using their service to make money and build  his  brand. Nonetheless   Yiannopoulos  has not hidden  his  mutually beneficial relationship with Stripe.
As Collison told BBC  “As long as the internet economy continues to grow  Stripe will continue to grow.” And it appears that as long as  Yiannopoulos ’s new business grows  so  too  will Stripe.

PROBLEM: George Papadopoulos  pleaded guilty in early October to lying to federal officials about  his  contacts with Russian nationals.  He  is one of three former Trump campaign officials facing criminal charges. (Elyse Samuels/The Washington Post)

President Trump on Tuesday belittled former foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos  who pleaded guilty this week to lying to federal agents investigating Russiaâs interference in the 2016 election  tweeting that âfew people knew the young  low level volunteer named George  who has already proven to be a liar.â
But interviews and documents show that  Papadopoulos  was in regular contact with the Trump campaignâs most senior officials and held  himself  out as a Trump surrogate as  he  traveled the world to meet with foreign officials and reporters.
 Papadopoulos  sat at the elbow of one of Trumpâs top campaign advisers  then-Sen. Jeff Sessions  during a dinner for campaign advisers weeks before the Republican National Convention  according to an individual who attended the meeting.
 He  met in London in September 2016 with a mid-level representative of the British Foreign Office  where  he  said  he  had contacts at the senior level of the Russian government.
And  he  conferred at one point with the foreign minister of Greece at a meeting in New York.
While some top campaign aides appeared to rebuff  Papadopoulos âs persistent offers to broker a meeting with Russian President VladiÂ­mir Putin  there is no sign they told  him  directly to cease  his  activities or sought to end  his  affiliation with the campaign.
Emails included in court documents released Monday show that  Papadopoulos  repeatedly told Trump campaign officials about  his  contacts with people  he  believed were representing the Russian government.
The court documents do not answer a key question: whether  Papadopoulos  also told  his  superiors that  he  had met a London-based professor who claimed to know that the Russians had âdirtâ on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton  including thousands of her emails.
An FBI agent told the court in July that  Papadopoulos  lied in an interview with federal agents  saying he did not tell anyone on the campaign about the âdirtâ because he thought the professor was a ânothing.â
 [Whoâs who in the George Papadopoulos court documents]
 At 29   Papadopoulos  had scant experience that qualified  him  to advise a presidential candidate.  He  had entered the Trump campaign after a six-week stint working for the campaign of  Trumpâs  rival for the Republican nomination  neurosurgeon Ben Carson.
 Carsonâs  campaign manager  Barry Bennett  recalled that  Papadopoulos  was hired after sending him an unsolicited message via LinkedIn seeking a job.
Bennett said his only vetting was to ask a friend at the Washington-based Hudson Institute  where Papadopoulosâs rÃ©sumÃ© indicated he had worked as a researcher  whether  Papadopoulos  was âan okay guy.â
For six weeks of work  Bennett said   Papadopoulos  was paid $8 500  before he was let go from the campaign at the end of January 2016 as it shed staff.
