Reports from China say arrests of foreign teachers across the country are up sharply this year. That information comes from lawyers, schools and teachers. They also report a jump in foreign teachers forced to leave the country. Chinese deportations of foreign teachers have increased this year. The lawyers, schools and teachers say the arrests and deportations are part of a larger campaign. They say it combines new police measures with the government’s push for a “cleaner,” more patriotic education system. Four law offices say requests for representation involving foreign teachers rose in the past six months by between four and 10 times the normal number. The four spoke with the Reuters news agency. Teachers and school officials confirmed that arrests and temporary detentions for minor crimes had become more common.
