https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/tokyo-university-probes-controversial-code-that-blocked-chinese-applicants-accessing-their-site-1729527

It was discovered that a graduate program at the University of Tokyo had included the Tiananmen Square code in the html code of the entrance exam application page.

So, people trying to apply from mainland China will be censored on the Chinese internet and their pages will not be able to load.

In response to this controversial suspicion, the University of Tokyo acknowledged that the keyword was present in the source code, but denied that there was any intention on the part of the institution to target specific nationalities.

The university said it immediately removed the code and began an internal investigation to determine how and why it was added.
