NEW: Just two weeks ago, Harvard partnered with a Chinese Communist Party influence group.
The group has been flagged by the US government for subverting institutions to “take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing’s preferred policies.”
The group has been flagged by the US government for subverting institutions to “take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing’s preferred policies.”
The group - the China United States Exchange Foundation - part of CCP’s United Front Work Department, which seeks “to co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party.”
The State Department also compares the United Front to the Chinese regime’s “magic weapon” to advance its preferred policies by infiltrating academia.

Despite these ties, CUSEF sponsored the recent 28th Harvard College China Forum.
James Chau, President of CUSEF, even spoke: “The modern story of US -China relations was about table tennis, was about two people who bumped into each other on a team bus at the world table tennis championships and from that went on to help shatter the silence that these two countries had endured for a couple of decades. It wasn't politicians, it wasn't diplomats, it wasn't traditional established leadership, it was two people who played sports, two people who represent culture.”
