The vast majority of Chinese students studying abroad never have contact with authorities from their country, but Chinese government operations on foreign campuses seeking to use and influence students do exist. The head of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation warned last year not naming China specifically that Australia needs to be conscious of foreign influence in its universities, which affects the behaviour of lecturers and foreign students.
The scope of these operations is difficult to determine, but professors at universities around the world have recounted instances of students reporting back to higher officials on the activities of their classmates and lecturers, sometimes under duress.
Robert Barnett, director of Columbia Universitys Modern Tibetan Studies Programme, recalls having had students apply to be his research assistant, only later to discover that they were acting at the behest of Chinese consular officials. He also knows that his lectures, and what Chinese students say in them, have been monitored. Ive had students suddenly given warnings by Chinese officials about me or things theyve said in class, he says. In one case, it happened within a few hours of it being said.
Sally Sargeson, an associate professor at Australian National University who teaches courses in Chinese politics, says Chinese students have expressed fears of this happening to them. I had a student in tears in my office, saying that she dare not speak up in class, Sargeson says. Other students I know of have had parents in China contacted by public security, invited to come have tea, and told they need to keep their child in Australia in line.
Essentially, CSSA branches are campus groups that organise social activities and practical assistance for students, and so are a natural attraction for many new arrivals transitioning to life abroad.

I read this classified report last year when it came out. It is NOT difficult to determine the scope of these operations. It's only difficult if you do NO analysis and behave like morons, buying your head in the sand and dismissing fundamental Chinese National Strategy.
Honestly, Chinese students should be banned from the United States. They bring rampant spying, both on the campus and in industries, and I say this despite how much I have enjoyed teaching Chinese students English.
The people doing the coercing are basically spies operating under non-official cover. The day we snag one of these people and hand out a 10-year prison term is the day the Chinese government starts having issues recruiting them.
There are some things I cannot say in public forum.

Ummmm... We knew this 40 years ago when the Chicoms started sending thousands of students to US universities, that were happy to have so many students paying out of state tuition.
The double-standard here is strong.
“Do not interfere with out INTERNAL matters” —that is a frequent Chinese theme.
Yet behold THIS.
The same for property, what belongs to China ABSOLUTELY belongs to her.
YOUR stuff..? Oh, well that is debatable.

Due to items being shipped to and from the Chink's home, brother did some back ground search.
The Chink taught computer science at UT Arlinton to...
...Chinese nationals.
Short time after Chink was aware of brother checking up, he moved out.
Why do we allow Chinese into our Universities?
The “Emperor” now being the Communist system?
Whatever men may mean, what God means will be all that matters in the end.
This has been chronicled here at FR since the 90’s.
It’s axiomatic that when America invites any citizen of a totalitarian regime onto our soil spying and blackmail of the spies or businessmen or college students will ensue. I regard my Chinese neighbors in that light. They operate freely because of the language barrier.
If you were alive during the Cold War and earlier, you understood these facts of life. I blame Kissinger and Nixon for this particular debacle.
[The Emperor now being the Communist system?]
Wherever “Communism” has been established, it has always been a fig leaf for the establishment of a hereditary aristocracy. New regimes have traditionally seized the property of the losing factions and used that to reward both generals and foot soldiers responsible for their victory. “Communists” took that a step further and seized everyone’s property to reward their supporters. “Leninism” was basically the word used to justify absolute monarchy under the title of General Secretary, but with a far more repressive totalitarian twist.
Likewise...
... America needs to be conscious of national leftist influence in its universities, which affects the behavior of lecturers and all students.
Then say the things you can.
Are you SURE?
No.
Well whoever or whatever it is (if it can even be fulfilled now, as by the president of PROC?), it is going to be in a clash with Christian faith. Both accounts of heaven can’t be simultaneously true. They don’t even have the same flavor. Chinese tradition has a selfish heaven; Christian tradition has a sharing heaven.
