The US should follow suit. These propaganda centers are all over, injecting Chinese Communist Party lies into the bloodstream of American universities.

An incomplete list is threaded below.

If you’re an alum (or a taxpayer for a state school), you should urge them to close.
George Washington University

@GWtweets / @GWConfucius
GW rejected pressure from the FBI and beyond to close their institute. gwhatchet.com/2019/01/31/ami…
George Mason

@GeorgeMasonU
GMU, you’ll remember, made news and apologized for accepting inappropriate gifts from the Koch organization. Yet they maintain their Confucius Institute, funding by the Chinese Communist Party. nas.org/blogs/article/…
Columbia University

@Columbia
Good reporting on this one here by @tendor columbiaspectator.com/opinion/2020/0…
Tufts

@TuftsUniversity, who rebuffed a request from @sethmoulton to close the institute as a propaganda mill for China, despite 20 other schools taking action.

The University of South Carolina

@UofSC
USC ignored the FBI, who urged them to close their Confucius institute for being a China government front. google.com/amp/s/amp.thes…
University is Kentucky

@universityofky / @UKConfucius
UK took almost $2 million from the Chinese government in 2015 to expand theirs. google.com/amp/s/amp.kent…
Georgia State University

@GeorgiaStateU
GSU even got an award from China’s Ministry of Education. Something tells me they may want to give this one back. globalatlanta.com/georgia-state-…
University of Oklahoma

@UofOklahoma
UofO may have evaded foreign contributions reporting requirements when they took $1 million from the Chinese government in 2018. ocpathink.org/post/ou-founda…
University of California, Los Angeles

@UCLA / @uclaconfucius
UCLA also ignored FBI warnings about the danger of the institutes as spying and propaganda mechanisms for the CCP. dailybruin.com/2018/02/15/des…
Stanford

@Stanford
Stanford was warned that their CI could be engaged in espionage back in 2014 and have ignored concerns since. forbes.com/sites/eamonnfi…
Even high schools, like in Houston.

@HoustonISD / @HISD_Confucius
Houston public schools continue to work with the Chinese Communist Party despite @tedcruz leading the charge in opposing these institutes. npr.org/2019/07/17/741…
Same goes for Broward County in Florida.

@browardschools / @BCPSConfucius
This despite @marcorubio urging FL schools to close their institutes back in 2018 (and since). politico.com/states/florida…
The College of William & Mary

@williamandmary
W&M got into a tift with Beijing back in 2014 about inviting the Dalai Lama to campus, and had to fly to CCP HQ to apologize. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
