The Fist of Six? Sounds like a Chinese initiative.

Good to know that Linkers read things carefully. That announcement went
through teams of educators in Australia and Canada, none of whom noticed
my mistake.
It will be interesting to see if online learning becomes the new normal
for university students. Yesterday I listened to a brief talk by Chirag
Kasbekar, who researches how such changes happen:
"In the wake of exogenous institutional change, organizational
populations often experience a legitimacy shock. As a new institutional
logic becomes dominant, old symbols and practices are delegitimated and
new ones legitimated. Old symbols and practices persist into the
postshock period, however, forming an ecology of diverse cohorts and
audience schemas, some divergent and others convergent with the new
institutional logic."

Shocks: Postbellum Firearms Firms in the US South, 1866–1914.
