Important Takeaways:
- China’s return to college campuses: Communist-backed Confucius Institutes renew bid to shape American minds
- Colleges and universities across America shut the doors to their Confucius Institutes over the past several years…but some are now reopening their doors under a different name while continuing to accept money from the Chinese Communist Party.
- Their self-described goal is to offer instruction to students on Chinese language and culture as tensions between the Chinese government and the United States reach a level not seen in decades, and as intelligence officials warn the instruction on language and culture is merely a guise under which the communist party seeks to propagandize within the walls of America’s classrooms.
- In 2019, FBI Director Christopher Wray said that Confucius Institutes are a “source of concern” and are part of China’s “soft power strategy.”
- The National Association of Scholars states that the 118 Confucius Institutes that once operated in the U.S. has since shrunk to just 18
- In total, at least 28 universities replaced their Confucius Institute programs with something similar, according to the NAS report
- The “rebranding” of Confucius Institutes comes amid warnings by Wray as well as Ken McCallum, director-general of the United Kingdom’s MI5 intelligence service…warning for American companies: The Chinese government wants to steal your technology.
