Then as I passed a mirror, I stopped to adjust my tie, wiped off the sweat coursing down my face, and stepped out into the midday sun, clutching my briefcase and cameras. Behind the scenes, this is how the "romantic" endeavour of putting together a Sanya resorts review is accomplished. Despite my garb, people everywhere smiled welcomingly and spoke to me like an old friend, in Russian. At night I watched thundering fireworks.

MICE is an acronym for meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions. With so many corporate MICE groups in town hotels often compete with each other to set off the biggest, brightest, noisiest fireworks with the result that by around 8pm guests will have assumed it is the end of the world and shall be racing about like headless chickens. Don’t pooh- pooh this. Scrambling around aimlessly on an empty beach at night is pretty much the highlight of a Sanya family holiday unless you happen to be staying at one of those Sanya conference hotels armed with greater pyrotechnic muscle, in which case you’ll do the same on a more well- lit beach.

Welcome to Sanya, the “Hawaii of the East”. No longer content to bask in reflected glory, this sleepy backwater has awoken and reinvented itself as “Forever Tropical Paradise – Sanya”.

This island – or, more accurately, one corner of an island, Sanya and Yalong Bay and now the fast- developing Haitang Bay – is determined to go head- to- head with assorted “Pearls of the Orient”.

Parts of the island are overrun by cheerful Russians, with all restaurant and shop signs in Cyrillic. Also in evidence are Koreans and Japanese. You'll find some finger- licking- good Muslim halal food too. But where the heck is Sanya? Before perusing this Hainan guide, first check out our Sanya Map. Sanya is part of Hainan – that includes the capital Haikou in the north, Yalong Bay in the Southeast, Haitang Bay just north of this beach playground, and Boao in the northeast – one of the southernmost islands in China, its pleasures well chronicled by a procession of mandarins banished from Beijing and hurled into exile quite literally at the “end of the earth”. So the Qing dynasty inscriptions proclaim, carved into two large boulders on the beach.

This is one of the attractions of the island. So it’s a rock. Okay, two rocks. So what? Australia has Ayers and Sanya has Tianya Haijiao, smaller, smoother, more accessible, and with nary a whiff of koala poo. Oz had its convicts and Sanya its “treacherous” exiled officials whose descendents no doubt have evolved into the scoundrels we know today as taxi drivers. Had these early unfortunates had the sense to open a spa they could have minted millions. But, back then, a “spa treatment” simply involved pouring scalding oil on armed foreigners without the courtesy of a professional consult.

A College Lecturer Tweeted, ‘Trump Must Hang.’ He Doesn’t Regret It. College and University.

The anonymous tip came in at 1. Thursday, April 6. There it sat for almost 2.

Rob Shimshock, a 2. Daily Caller in Washington, found it in the site’s generic inbox, an electronic slush pile.

The unsigned email contained links to a few tweets, as well as to the biographical page of an untenured history lecturer at California State University, Fresno—Lars Maischak. The author was obscure, but the tweets were explosive. On February 1. 7, Maischak had posted on Twitter about the new president: “To save American democracy, Trump must hang. The sooner and higher the better.

The. Resistance #Deathto. Fascism.” Two days later, he wrote: “#The. Resistance Has anyone started soliciting money and design drafts for a monument honoring the Trump assassin, yet?” And on February 2.

The. Resistance #ethniccleansing Justice = The execution of two Republicans for each deported immigrant.”Story Continued Below. This was the kind of story the novice reporter Shimshock, who had interned for Milo Yiannopoulos at Breitbart News as a college student, had been trained to cover.

I saw the incitement to violence and the abject scorn” for conservatives, Shimshock told me. He sent an email to the lecturer to confirm that the account belonged to him, and to Fresno State for a response. Maischak didn’t write back, but a school spokesperson did, saying that the tweets did not reflect the university’s views. So at 8: 4. 1 p. m. Friday, the Daily Caller published its story: “Professor: ‘Trump Must Hang,’ Republicans Should Be Executed For Each Immigrant Deported.”In an instant, it was as if Maischak, who had only 2.

Twitter followers at the time, had wandered alone across the Demilitarized Zone, armed with a squirt gun, into nuclear North Korea. The Daily Caller wrote four stories about him in eight days.

Breitbart opined that Maischak’s tweets were evidence why “universities across the country are now viewed with disdain by average, salt- of- the- earth Americans.” “Fox & Friends” weighed in with condemnation, as did the Blaze and Gateway Pundit. Here, they said, was a prime example of how the left’s hatred for Donald Trump was quickly curdling into something violent—and being protected by America’s out- of- touch system of higher education. The mainstream media picked up the story too, from the. Los Angeles. Times to the Washington Post, whichheld up the lecturer as one of several rhetorical bomb- throwers “to suffer the consequences for publicly wishing death upon Trump.”Since the initial burst of notoriety, Maischak, who says he received hundreds of death threats on Twitter and email, has declined to speak publicly at length about his tweets, taking the advice of his attorney to lie low. Fresno State administrators put him on leave for the rest of the spring semester and moved him to a non- teaching job this fall; the fate of his job after the spring of 2. But now, Maischak is ready to talk. In an interview in August, he told me that he regrets nothing, insisting that his comments were taken out of context by a right- wing media intent on creating a scandal, and fueled by a university administration unwilling to back up what he sees as academically protected free speech.

The university has never bothered to find the facts,” he says. If his contract isn’t renewed, he is considering suing Fresno State. Our attorneys are talking,” the university president, Joseph Castro, told me, while declining to answer specific questions about Maischak’s future. Whether or not Maischak deserves to keep teaching, his story is emblematic of a dilemma for higher- education institutions in the Trump era: to defend comments by faculty members that, on their face, are indefensible, or to soft- pedal academic freedom as an emboldened right- wing media searches for targets? According to the. Chronicle of Higher Education, schools around the country—ranging from Fresno State to Dartmouth to Essex Community College in Delaware—have “distanced themselves from scholars” under fire from right- wing media in nine cases this year, as of the end of June.

Earlier this month, a professor at Austin Community College resigned after tweeting about Trump’s education secretary, “I’m not wishing for it…but I’d be ok if #Betsy. Devos was sexually assaulted.”Most of the discussion over campus free speech in the Trump era has centered on conservative provocateurs like Yiannopoulos, Steve Bannon and Ann Coulter, whose recent attempts to visit college campuses have been met with intense backlash, even violence, thanks to their alignment with Trump and his politics. There have been countless viewpoints aired about whether universities should defend speech that their students deem offensive or hateful—with many conservatives and other free- speech defenders fingering weak- kneed college kids and their overprotective administrators for stifling the exchange of ideas. But Maischak’s case is a kind of fun- house mirror inversion of that debate: What do colleges and universities do when their left- wing faculty are the ones whose speech goes too far?***I met Maischakover lunch and beers at a restaurant near where he lives in California’s Central Valley, on a punishingly hot August day. In person, he is relaxed and conversational, speaking in German- accented English and still bearing the blinking, confused mien of an academic accustomed to a kind of noble irrelevancy but now thrust into an unaccustomed spotlight. Born in Bremen, Germany, Maischak, 4. Ph. D. at Johns Hopkins University.

He published his only book in 2. German merchants sailing the Atlantic in the 1.

In part, it was a story about how far- right ideas spread in his home country—the kind of ideas that formed the soil in which fascism later grew. In the book’s prologue, Maischak straightforwardly wrote that he had made “use of the works of Karl Marx,” and, to this day, he openly identifies as a Marxist.

Fresno State’s Lars Maischak, a German- born historian, says his tweets about Trump hanging were intended as an academic argument about the how fascist regimes end. Chueyee Yang/The Collegian. Maischak has taught in the history department at Fresno State for the past 1. Like many academics, he is not on track to receive tenure. It’s a precarious existence. The school hires him on three- year contracts, heavy on teaching requirements and light on time for research or writing.

Still, Maischak was content with the gig. In our conversation, he waxed about the simple pleasures of a marginal post at a state university, raising a family and studying Hegel’s works one paragraph at a time at a local coffee shop, with a study group made up of a philosophy student, a chemist and an IHOP waitress. During the recession, when he was assigned to teach fewer classes, he moonlighted as a video game designer on a modification to Europa Universalis IV, an intricate simulation of world history that makes Civilization look like checkers. As Trump rose to political prominence, the historian came to believe, as he still does, that the now- president is best described as a fascist. Historically, several leaders of fascist governments—Benito Mussolini, Hideki Tojo, Vidkun Quisling, to name a few—have faced execution at the hands of political opponents. So, Maischak says, he believed Trump could meet the same fate. He told me he presented a version of that argument in his classes after the election, but it didn’t go over very well.

It got students who voted for Trump very angry,” Maischak says. With an eye toward writing a book he has provisionally titled Fascism in America, the lecturer took to Twitter instead to spitball his ideas. Even though Maischak’s most inflammatory tweet in February used the phrase “must hang” and “The sooner and higher the better,” he says he was making a descriptive claim about what might happen to Trump—not a prescriptiveone about what should happen.
