2017 China–India border standoff, Disengagement
The Indian troops withdrew back to their original positions at their outpost at Doka La, located in a militarily advantageous position on the Bhutanese border, less than 500 meters away down the ridge slope. The Times of India, citing a source, reported: "Our soldiers sit on the top, hold the ridge and can swiftly intervene, as they pro-actively did in mid-June, if the People's Liberation Army once again tries to unilaterally change the status quo by constructing a road near the Sikkim-Bhutan-Tibet tri-junction."


2017 China–India border standoff, Disengagement
Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India released a press statement stating that India and China had mutually agreed to disengage. It said that India and China had maintained diplomatic communication in recent weeks and that India was able to convey its "concerns and interests". In Beijing, the foreign ministry spokeswoman said that the Chinese forces on site have verified that the Indian troops pulled out, and implied that Chinese troop numbers would be reduced. She said that the Chinese troops would continue to patrol the area, to garrison it and to exercise "sovereign rights".

However, she made no mention of road-building activities. The statement from the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, as The Diplomat reported, "offered Beijing a face-saving way out of the impasse." Indian MEA issued a second statement later in the day that both the sides have withdrawn "under verification". The Indian news channel NDTV reported that, by the end of the day, Chinese road-building equipment was removed from the face-off site. Some experts warned that one shouldn't be overly optimistic as another standoff is entirely possible.

The Washington Post commented that it was not clear if China had offered any concessions in return for the Indian withdrawal, such as agreeing to halt road construction. It said that the deal allowed both sides to save face. However China was continuing to be "cagey" in its official remarks. Al Jazeera said that China was not giving up its historical claims and it expected India to respect its "historical borders". Scholar Taylor Fravel pointed out that there are plenty of options available to China to garrison the area other than extending the road.

On 5 September, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping held hour-long discussions on the sidelines of the BRICS summit. They agreed on a "forward-looking" approach and vowed to make efforts to ensure that situations like the Doklam standoff do not recur. They reaffirmed that maintaining peace and tranquility in the border areas was essential for the relations between the two countries.

On 7 September, some media reports claimed that both nation's troops still were patrolling the area at the face-off site, simply having moved 150 meters back from their previous position.


2017 China–India border standoff, Bhutanese reaction
After issuing a press statement on 29 June, the Bhutanese government and media maintained a studious silence. The Bhutanese clarified that the territory on which China was building a road was "Bhutanese territory" that was being claimed by China, and it is part of the ongoing border negotiations. It also defended the policy of silence followed by the Bhutanese government, saying "Bhutan does not want India and China to go to war, and it is avoiding doing anything that can heat up an already heated situation."

However, ENODO Global, a risk management firm, having done a study of social media interactions in Bhutan, recommended that the government should "proactively engage" with citizens and avoid a disconnect between leaders and populations. ENODO found considerable anxiety among the populace regarding the risk of war between India and China, and the possibility of annexation by China similar to that of Tibet in 1951. It found a strengthening of Bhutanese resolve, identity and nationalism, not wanting to be "pushovers".

The New York Times said that it encountered more people concerned about India's actions than China's. It found expressions of sovereignty and concern that an escalation of the border conflict would hurt trade and diplomatic relations with China. Scholar Rudra Chaudhuri, having toured the country, noted that Doklam is not as important an issue for the Bhutanese as it might have been ten years ago. Rather the Bhutanese view a border settlement with China as the top priority for the country. While he noticed terms such as "pro-Chinese" and "anti-Indian" often used, he says that what they mean is not well-understood.

2017 Chinese Grand Prix
The 2017 Chinese Grand Prix (formally known as the 2017 Formula 1 Heineken Chinese Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race that took place on 9 April 2017 at the Shanghai International Circuit in Shanghai, China. The race was the second round of the 2017 FIA Formula One World Championship, and marked the fourteenth time that the Chinese Grand Prix has been run as a round of the Formula One World Championship.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix
The race was marked by difficulties in Friday practice sessions when weather in Shanghai prevented the medical helicopter from being available and only twenty minutes of running was possible. Lewis Hamilton took his sixth consecutive pole position at the Chinese Grand Prix, ahead of Sebastian Vettel and teammate Valtteri Bottas. The race began with a wet track but there was no rain during the race, and Hamilton led the race from start to finish and set the fastest lap. Vettel pitted to change from intermediate to slick tyres during a virtual safety car, dropping him to sixth position, but recovered to second place. Max Verstappen started 16th and went on to complete the podium, finishing third.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Free practice
Both of Friday's practice sessions were significantly affected by the weather conditions of low cloud, rain and smog. The first session took place with the track surface damp, and featured little activity before the session was red-flagged with only 20 minutes of running having been completed. Safety rules require that an injured driver with a neurological condition must be able to reach a hospital within 20 minutes, either by helicopter or ambulance.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Free practice
Prevailing weather conditions made it impossible for the medical helicopter to land at the Shanghai hospital located 38 km from the track, and an ambulance would be unable to reach the hospital within the required time, and so the cars were prohibited from on-track running until an emergency medical transport became available.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Free practice
The weather situation did not improve and the second practice session was abandoned altogether. Some drivers, including Hamilton and world championship leader Sebastian Vettel, had no running on Friday, and the fastest time set on Friday was 1:50.491 by Max Verstappen, set in wet conditions. There were calls led by Lewis Hamilton to change schedule to allow all sessions to be run. However, these were rejected by the organisation, as it would disrupt television schedules and, in case of potential rescheduling of the race to Monday, would also lead to significant logistical problems for the Bahrain race scheduled only a week later.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Free practice
Hamilton was granted permission to cross the track during the second practice session to greet fans and throw signed caps into the crowd in the grandstands; he used social media to suggest the situation provided an opportunity for new owners to be "proactive and creative". Calls were made for a contingency plan for circumstances where a practice session is cancelled such as opening paddock access for fans at the track.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Free practice
With dry weather on Saturday, described as "almost-sunshine in perpetually smog-grey Shanghai", the third practice session ran on time but faced the teams with the challenge of preparing for qualifying with just one practice session instead of the usual three. Most teams opted to split tyre duties between their drivers and to collect some data on performance on longer runs, while also using their only opportunity to prepare for the afternoon's qualifying session. Weather forecasts predicted a high chance of rain during the race on Sunday, adding an extra complication to the teams' calculations going into their single practice session. The Force India team described the situation in a tweet: "Never has the Saturday morning session been so important."


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Free practice
Vettel set the session's fastest time of 1:33.336, just 0.053 s ahead of teammate Kimi Räikkönen; both of these times were more than two seconds faster than Nico Rosberg's pole position time from the 2016 race (1:35.402). The two Mercedes drivers finished the session around 0.3 to 0.5 s behind the Ferraris, though Hamilton made a mistake at the hairpin on a lap which matched Vettel's pace in the first two sectors. Valtteri Bottas lost track time when the 'T wing' was dislodged from his car and repeatedly ran wide at the final corner.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Free practice
The rest of the field were at least a second per lap slower than the leading cars, led by Felipe Massa (1:34.773) ahead of the Red Bull drivers. The Red Bulls set the early pace in the session when running on heavy fuel loads, but were unable to match the pace of Ferrari or Mercedes in qualifying simulations.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Free practice
Behind Red Bull, competition was much closer, with positions eight to ten (Lance Stroll, Jolyon Palmer, and Carlos Sainz Jr.) covered by only 0.041 s and positions eleven to sixteen (Nico Hülkenberg, Kevin Magnussen, Sergio Pérez, Romain Grosjean, Daniil Kvyat, and Esteban Ocon) covered by 0.362 s. Two-times world champion Fernando Alonso and the McLaren team were left competing only with Sauber at the bottom of the timing sheets, at least 2.5 s off the pace and described by a commentator as "battl[ing] with the poor performance, reliability and fuel consumption of the Honda engine".


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Qualifying
Sky Sports F1 predicted that Ferrari went into qualifying with an advantage over Mercedes and that those two teams appeared to be in a class of their own, a prediction borne out by the results. Vettel set the fastest time in the first part of qualifying of 1:33.078, just over a quarter of a second ahead of Hamilton, who shaded Räikkönen by less than one one-hundredth of a second – but the Ferraris were on the soft tyres and the Mercedes on the (faster) super-softs.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Qualifying
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo was the "best of the rest" in all three qualifying sessions, though around a second off the fastest times, showing that Red Bull's relatively poor pace compared to the top two teams in Australia was not a one-off and placing them in an "unwanted league of their own".


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Qualifying
Haas driver Grosjean had a spin at the final corner early in the session, managing to keep the car off the wall and returning to the pits with only a ruined set of tyres. Sauber driver Antonio Giovinazzi was not so fortunate. He was running in fifteenth late in the session when he spun on the astroturf on the outside of the final corner, hitting the wall hard and coming to rest in the middle of the track.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Qualifying
With double waved-yellow flags on the start–finish straight, no driver could set an improved time and Giovinazzi advanced to Q2 but with a car that was unable to run and so qualified 15th. Two drivers eliminated in Q1, Palmer and Grosjean, who were both looking to out-qualify Giovinazzi when his accident occurred, were subsequently given five grid-slot penalties; the stewards stated that they "made no attempt to significantly reduce [their] speed in the area of a double waved-yellow flag".


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Qualifying
Grosjean disputed this statement, posting telemetry on Twitter showing that he braked 50 m earlier for the corner and was travelling 45 km/h slower, though the stewards' decision was final. Haas team boss Guenther Steiner supported Grosjean, arguing he had clearly slowed and lamenting the lost opportunity as Grosjean "could have made it into Q3". The rebuild of Giovinazzi's car necessitated a new gearbox, leading him to be demoted to 18th on grid, ahead of only Grosjean and Palmer.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Qualifying
Red Bull's Verstappen had engine misfire problems and did not set a qualifying time until late in the session, 1.5 s slower than his teammate in fifth. Verstappen was trying for an improved time when Giovinazzi crashed and was consequently eliminated in 19th place, though he was scheduled to start from 17th on the grid.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Qualifying
In the second phase of qualifying, Vettel set a fast time early in the session but Hamilton was only slower by 0.015 s on the same tyres. Räikkönen set the fastest time of 1:32.181 late in the session, 0.21 s ahead of his teammate, and faster than Michael Schumacher's all-time lap record for the circuit set in 2004. Fifth-fastest driver Ricciardo was nearly a second behind Bottas in fourth place. The two Mercedes drivers and Ricciardo were the only drivers not to do a second run. Hülkenberg and Pérez posted improved times in the last moments of the session, advancing to Q3, with Sainz, Ericsson, Magnussen, and Alonso eliminated.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Qualifying
Hamilton had an untidy first lap in the third phase of qualifying, but still laid down a provisional pole position time of 1:31.902, with Vettel in second down by 0.184 s, followed by Bottas. Räikkönen's pace was 0.7 s slower Hamilton, but still ahead of Ricciardo in fifth by almost the same amount. All of the top four subsequently improved their times but the positions remained unchanged. Hamilton's new lap record time was 1:31.678 and Vettel's 1:31.864 was only one one-thousandth of a second ahead of Bottas, with Räikkönen at 1:32.140 nearly nine-tenths of a second ahead of Ricciardo.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Qualifying
Sixth place went to Massa, nearly half a second behind the Red Bull and just ahead of Hülkenberg's Renault. Williams driver Lance Stroll, competing in his first Q3 session in only the second race of his Formula 1 career, took tenth place. This was a major improvement from the 19th place he managed on début, partly attributed to changing to a lighter power steering setting – Stroll won the 2016 European Formula 3 Championship where power steering is not used, and accepted that taking some wrong decisions is an inevitable part of stepping up to Formula 1.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Qualifying
Hamilton's pole position was his sixth in a row, a run he began at the 2016 United States Grand Prix, which places him equal sixth on the list of most consecutive pole positions. It was also his sixth pole position at the Chinese Grand Prix, placing him equal fifth on the list of most pole positions at a single race, and the 75th pole position for the Mercedes team in 150 races.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Background
The FIA took steps to ensure that access to emergency medical treatment, lack of which had led to cancellation of most of Friday practice, would not impede running of the race itself. A police escort was made available to facilitate rapid ground transportation, and specialist neurological equipment was relocated to a hospital located five kilometres from the track.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Background
This included arranging "for a complete neurosurgery team from Huashan Hospital to be present at Ruijin Hospital on Sunday" leading the FIA medical team to be "satisfied that the Ruijin Hospital will not only be easily accessible in all weather conditions, but will also be able to provide the required care".


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Background
There was considerable rain on the morning of the race, but the start was to be taken following the standard procedure. The track was damp before the race, but would dry out as the day progressed. Notably, the main straight remained considerably wetter than the rest of the track, observed by Martin Brundle of Sky Sports F1 as possibly owing to the architecture of the media centre and overpass pavilions precipitating the track beneath with residual rainwater – something Giovinazzi would later learn with chagrin when he spun and crashed as a result of losing grip thereunder.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Background
As the first 'wet' race of the season with new regulation wider tyres, virtually all teams began on intermediates both to gather data on their performance and as a precaution. Only artificial pre-season testing at Barcelona had emulated similar conditions, although not all teams were present there. Pitlane reporter Ted Kravitz would go on to later note that within the first few laps, significant degradation of the intermediate tyres was found on the front left tyres across the board – a matter made in turn more complicated by the semi-dry/wet nature of the track.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Background
Many drivers, including Alonso and Vettel reported of drying conditions before the race, whilst Hamilton's team estimated that a transition point where slicks would be appropriate would come around lap 6. Despite this, only Sainz went to the grid with super-soft option slick tyres; however, Palmer, who was marred by a grid penalty, peeled away from the formation lap into the pits before the race start to change out his intermediates for slicks, starting his race from the pit lane.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Report
Hamilton defended his pole immediately with a rapid and clean start, remaining unchallenged for the remainder of the race session. Vettel defended second place fending off a bold challenge from Bottas on the outside in turn 1. Räikkönen lost his place to Ricciardo early on and would prove to be on the back foot for the remainder of the race, later holding up teammate Vettel.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Report
Incidentally, Vettel was noted by the stewards as being laterally to the left of his grid space at the start and was investigated for being out of position – since his car was edged towards Hamilton, yet no action was taken. Many middle- and back-markers also made significant gains in the first lap, especially Verstappen, who overtook nine cars in the space of two minutes earning the title of "Driver of the Day".


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Report
The early action was however soon neutralised following contact between Pérez and Stroll which left Stroll spun out and beached in a gravel trap with a ruined set of tyres. The removal of his car warranted a virtual safety car during which Vettel pitted for slicks. Just moments after racing resumed, Giovinazzi had a major crash on the start–finish straight, the second time he had spun off on the straight, marking an end to his unfortunate weekend. Debris strewn across the surface and the Sauber car's removal prompted deployment of a safety car.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Report
As the safety car led traffic through the pits, avoiding the removal work and obstructions, most drivers seized the opportunity to change to slicks. Hülkenberg was given a five-second penalty for overtaking Grosjean under the virtual safety car, and a further ten-second penalty for overtaking Ericsson under the safety car. In a move he described as a "stupid mistake", Bottas spun behind the safety car while trying to warm his tyres, dropping down to 12th and was criticised by his team boss and former manager Toto Wolff.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Report
By the time the safety car came in, Hamilton was leading from Ricciardo and Verstappen, who had made a series of overtakes in the slippery conditions, with the Ferraris fourth and fifth. Verstappen overtook Ricciardo on lap 11 for second place, having started 16th, again demonstrating his skill in difficult conditions (similar to the 2016 Brazilian Grand Prix). With the Ferraris unable to overtake Ricciardo, Hamilton and Verstappen pull out a significant lead, with Hamilton four seconds ahead of Verstappen and nine seconds ahead of Ricciardo by lap 20 – the lap Vettel overtook Räikkönen.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Report
Two laps later, Vettel overtook Ricciardo and rapidly closed in on Verstappen. By lap 27, Hamilton had built a lead of 8.5 s over Verstappen with Vettel about 1.5 s further back, and Ricciardo and Räikkönen about 2 s apart and 4 s behind Vettel. Verstappen made a mistake on lap 29, locking up and allowing Vettel to pass for second, 10.6 s behind Hamilton with 27 laps remaining. Verstappen stopped for fresh super-soft tyres the following lap, returning to the track 6th behind Bottas.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Report
Verstappen showed great pace on his fresh tyres, quickly overtaking Bottas, and leading to pit stops for Vettel (who was losing time to Hamilton) and then for Hamilton on lap 37, returning to the track on new soft tyres just ahead of Räikkönen. Räikkönen was the last of the top six drivers to stop for tyres despite repeated complaints of tyre problems, likely because pitting demoted him from second to sixth, behind the two Red Bull cars. By lap 42, the top five positions were Hamilton – Vettel – Verstappen – Ricciardo – Räikkönen.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Report
The Red Bulls closed up and battled over the final podium position over the last few laps, but Ricciardo did not manage to overtake his teammate, and the order remained unchanged throughout the last 15 laps. Bottas recovered to take sixth place, and Sainz, Magnussen, Pérez, and Ocon rounded out the top ten.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Report
The race was the 54th win of Hamilton's Formula 1 career, his 5th victory in the Chinese Grand Prix (having won previously in 2008, 2011, 2014, and 2015), and the 65th win for Mercedes in their 150th race. With Hamilton winning the race and Vettel in second, the two go to the third race in Bahrain equal in the World Drivers' Championship standings, with 43 points each, but with Mercedes having overtaken Ferrari in the Constructors' Championship.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Report
The fastest lap of the race was set by Lewis Hamilton on lap 44 (1:35.378), which was over four seconds faster than Nico Hülkenberg's fastest lap of 1:39.824 in the 2016 race. Hamilton became the second driver, after Schumacher, to win five or more times at three different tracks, and he equalled Alain Prost's career total of 106 podiums, placing him equal second on the all-time list of career podium finishes.


2017 Chinese Grand Prix, Report, Race, Report
The race was the third "grand slam" of Hamilton's career – winning from pole position after leading every lap and setting the fastest lap – adding to 2014 Malaysian and 2015 Italian Grands Prix. Hamilton also equalled Jim Clark's career record of 11 "hat-tricks" – races won from pole while setting the fastest lap – placing him equal second on the all-time list.

2017 Chomutov incident
On 27 May 2017, a 37-year-old man believed that a vehicular rampage was taking place in front of his home and in an effort to stop it, he shot the 34 year old driver dead. The subsequent investigation and court case attracted significant public attention mainly due to issues related to the limits of legitimate self-defense and defensive gun use in the Czech Republic.


2017 Chomutov incident, Background
In months and years preceding the incident, Europe has seen a number of vehicular terror attacks against pedestrians. While no similar terror attack had taken place directly in the Czech Republic, the 1973 vehicular rampage perpetrated by Olga Hepnarová remains to this day the largest mass murder in the country (with 20 victims, of them 8 fatal).


2017 Chomutov incident, Background
The Czech Republic issues concealed carry permits, in which private firearm possession is seen as one way to provide public safety, especially when it comes to soft target protection at the time of increased terror risk. There are 240,000 civilians licensed to carry concealed firearms. However, it is unknown how many of them actually regularly do so. Following a wave of terror attacks around Europe, a number of politicians as well as security professionals started urging gun owners to actually carry firearms in order to be able to contribute to soft targets protection. These included, among many others, President Miloš Zeman as well as Libor Lochman, Chief of URNA, the country's main special forces anti-terrorism unit.


2017 Chomutov incident, Background
Czech courts had previously ruled that a car constitutes a weapon in case it is intentionally used against a person, even when driven slowly and with no injuries caused. Under Czech law, a firearm may be used for self-defense in case that its use is not "manifestly disproportionate to the manner of attack".


2017 Chomutov incident, Night of the incident
The initial police report describes the incident that took place at 3 AM on 27 May 2017 as follows: "A man (b. 1980) heard a loud noise from the street in the night, and from his window situated in a block of apartments he saw a van that was crashing into parked cars and driving into people assembled on the pathwalk in front of the house. He immediately took his legally owned firearm and went outside, where he opened fire towards the van that was passing by his side. The driver (born 1983) was hit by several bullets and suffered serious injuries that proved fatal. The suspect awaited arrival of police and admitted to the shooting." Media reported that one woman had her leg run over by the driver, while several parked cars were damaged.


2017 Chomutov incident, Night of the incident
The shooter was charged with murder and remanded in jail pending police interviews with witnesses (whereby maximum length of remand is 3 months).

2017 Chulalongkorn University incident
On 3 August 2017, Netiwit Chotiphatphaisal and seven Chulalongkorn University students and council members walked out of an initiation ceremony for first year students to pay respect to former kings Chulalongkorn and Vajiravudh in the courtyard of the university. A furious professor suddenly put one vice student council president, Supaluk Bumroongkij, in a chokehold. The incident was filmed and distributed causing a national controversy.


2017 Chulalongkorn University incident
After an investigation, Chulalongkorn University deducted behavioral points from all eight students involved and banned them from participating in university events. The decision was controversial, however, and criticized by the university's alumni with a global petition created by the Thai Academic Network for Civil Rights (TANCR).


2017 Chulalongkorn University incident, Background of the initiation ceremony
Since 1990, Chulalongkorn University hosted an annual event in which new students pledge their allegiance to King Chulalongkorn, who founded the university, by prostrating. The act of prostration was abolished by Chulalongkorn himself.


2017 Chulalongkorn University incident, The incident
Chulalongkorn University set the pledging event to occur on 3 August 2017. However, before the ceremony could end, Netiwit and seven people from his group abruptly left the ceremony after bowing in respect. A professor from the Faculty of Science, Ruangwit Bunjongrat, put the last member of the group to leave in a chokehold while shouting “Where is the animal, Nene?” (Animal being a curse word in Thai and Nene referring to Netiwit).


2017 Chulalongkorn University incident, The incident
Afterwards, images of the professor assaulting the student and of the eight students walking out of the ceremony became widespread causing much criticism of about the appropriateness of both actions. The offending professor later said he did what he did out of goodwill for his students and that he was so distressed by the incident that he had to be admitted a hospital.


2017 Chulalongkorn University incident, The incident
The protesting group of students argued that they were acting upon the decree of King Chulalongkorn and that they have already spoken to the university about providing a space for people with dissenting opinions. Chulalongkorn University rejected this reasoning and saw the protest as too political. They also said they had already arranged a separate space for those with dissenting opinions and saw that the students' actions were inappropriate.


2017 Chulalongkorn University incident, Result
The university set up an investigating committee and summoned Netiwit, along with other offending students, to be interviewed on the 25th and 30th of August. Pomthong Malakul Na Ayudhaya, vice president of Chulalongkorn University, ordered the deduction of 25 points from the students behavioral scores which bars them from applying for jobs and participating in certain activities within the university for the duration of their studies.


2017 Chulalongkorn University incident, Result
Netiwit argued that the University did not give them justice, the investigation period was far too short, and that the professor who assaulted one of the students was not under investigation. Some days after this decision, the university gave an official statement claiming that the incident is an "internal issue" and has nothing to do with politics. Professor Ruangwit Bunjongrat and Chulalongkorn University have both said they were regretful that the incident occurred, but also said that they were not completely to blame explaining that they based their decision on traditional Thai culture. However, later the university secretly fixed the statement by removing any criticism of professor Ruangrit Bunjongrat and the removal of the section concerning conservative explanations of Thai culture.


2017 Chulalongkorn University incident, Support for both sides
After the decision to deduct behavioral scores from the students, statements were made by alumni organizations of the Faculty of Education, Faculty of Engineering, and Chulalongkorn University Alumni Association Under Royal Patronage in support of the university. Netiwit complained that one of these alumni members was on the panel which made the decision to deduct his behavioral scores. He also alleged that the president of The University Council, Suchada Keeranan is a supporter of People's Democratic Reform Committee.


2017 Chulalongkorn University incident, Support for both sides
Before the decision, Netiwit received a letter from academic Noam Chomsky. The eight students also received support from academics from 128 universities around the world, who signed the petition created and circulated by TANCR supporting the freedom of expression at Chulalongkorn University.


2017 Chulalongkorn University incident, Support for both sides
On 2 October 2017, The International Student Association of Chulalongkorn University gave an official statement on the matter and put down names on a petition in support of the eight student activists. They asked for justice and the investigation of Ruangwit Bunjongrat while condemning The University for the incident.


2017 Chulalongkorn University incident, Support for both sides
On 10 October 2017, after an appeal to the decision was requested, 150 academics, activists, and scientists from 19 countries gave an official statement in support of the eight students.


2017 Chulalongkorn University incident, Appeal
The eight students sent an official request for an appeal on September 25, 2017. The rules state that a decision must be made within 30 days. Tongthong Chandransu, who is alleged to be a royalist and conservative, is the Chairman of the Board. The decision has been deferred since September of 2017, even though official rules state the committee has just thirty days to make a decision.


2017 Chulalongkorn University incident, Appeal
On 15 January 2017, seven Nobel Prize laureates including Dudley Herschbach, Richard Roberts, John Mather, Roy Glauber, Jerome Friedman, Sheldon Lee Glashow, Brian Josephson, along with other notable academics such as Gerhard Casper, the former president of Stanford University, Herbert C. Kelman, Henry Giroux, David Graeber, and Lawrence Lessig sent an open statement to Chulalongkorn University's president and the president of the appeal committee, asking them to find a better solution.

2017 Citizens' Action Party presidential primary
The third primary election of the Citizens' Action Party (PAC, known as Convención Nacional Ciudadana or "Citizens' National Convention") was scheduled for July 9, 2017 in order to elect PAC's presidential candidate for the 2018 Costa Rican general election. Albeit rumors about possible candidates included former candidate and former deputy Ottón Solís, then Vice-President Ana Helena Chacón and former president of Congress and then UN ambassador Juan Carlos Mendoza, all of them denied having aspirations at the moment.


2017 Citizens' Action Party presidential primary
Instead, the first announcing his intention to be nominated was Minister Carlos Alvarado, former Minister of Social Issues and President of the Joint Social Welfare Institute and latter Minister of Labor under Luis Guillermo Solis' presidency. He was quickly followed by Economy Minister Welmer Ramos, both resigning their offices as the Constitution requires before February 2017. Congresswoman and former pre-candidate Epsy Campbell made her intentions public on March of the same year in what could have been Campbell's third attempt to be presidential nominee. But on March 27 Campbell withdraw from the race.


2017 Citizens' Action Party presidential primary
Alvarado, a published writer and journalist, is seen as close to Luis Guillermo Solís Rivera, whilst Ramos (although also a Minister under Solís Rivera) is considered closer to the "Ottonista" faction, i.e. the more conservative faction close to the ideas of party's founder Ottón Solís. Alvarado won the election by 56% of the votes over Ramos who acknowledged the defeat the same night. Alvarado would win the presidential race a few months later.


2017 Citizens' Action Party presidential primary, Campaign
Alvarado focused his campaign highlighting the government's achievements, whilst Ramos distanced himself from the government and even made harsh criticism to several government officials for ethical reasons.


2017 Citizens' Action Party presidential primary, Campaign
Alvarado and Ramos main difference was regarding social issues, as in economy and politics held similar views. Alvarado supports gay marriage whilst Ramos opposes. This caused controversy mostly among partisans as PAC has traditionally held culturally liberal views and policies.


2017 Citizens' Action Party presidential primary, Campaign
Whilst Alvarado took part (as in previous years) of Costa Rica's annual Gay Pride Parade, Ramos said in a radio interview that he regarded same-sex couples unnatural, yet in an official statement Ramos clarified his position saying that he respects the LGBT community and would not oppose any form of legislation that recognizes same-sex couples and would respect the Party's official position in the matter.


2017 Citizens' Action Party presidential primary, Controversies
The main controversy was a religious pamphlet made by a Christian pastor supporting Ramos and calling Christians to vote for him. Costa Rica's electoral law forbids to use religion in any way during a political campaign, and of course internal criticism for what was considered a very conservative view in a generally liberal progressive party.


2017 Citizens' Action Party presidential primary, Debates
As with all presidential primaries, debates were organized between the candidates in different radio shows, universities, forums and networks. The two more prevalent are organized by the two biggest networks: Teletica on July 5 and Repretel on July 6.
