It's a strategy to tighten ideological control. And it is happening around the world.
n July 2017, a group of nine Chinese students and faculty from Huazhong University of Science and Technology participating in a summer program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) formed a Chinese Communist Party branch on the third floor of Hopkins Hall, a campus dormitory.
The group held meetings to discuss party ideology, taking a group photo in front of a red flag emblazoned with a hammer and sickle, according to a July 2017 article and photos posted to the Huazhong University website. The students’ home institution had sent four teachers on the trip, directing them to set up the party cell to strengthen “ideological guidance” while the students were in the United States.

I’m sure they’ve had secret cells there for decades. Maybe they’ll be setting up public groups now.
Pei-Ping.
The thing is...on most American campuses the Chinese Communist clubs are considered conservative.
It does work that way: create the Marxist disease, come in as Mao to fix the disease that will kill all these liberals
I’m sure there are many professors and staff who support their cause.
The American Communists who already control them, won't like this.
I’m sure there are many professors who support their cause.
Of course you are right.
I worked at 2 universities as a staff member for a combined 49 years and live in a people’s republic (liberal city) now.
Leftists will do anything and support anyone who will undermine the American Way of Life.
The mayor and council decisions here would make Jerry Brown and Jane Fonda blush.
According to the article, these cells are intended to keep the Chinese students “in line” while they study abroad.
Wo Fat should have targeted CA.
America allowed her doors open just a crack in 1787; and the door was opened wider and wider as time passed and AINOs increased...and now...a long gone conclusion....
Most folks, if honest, would say it’s all “invenereal “ to me!
To mimic a stand-up comic of yesteryear...forget his name now... maybe that heavy-set guy w/the deadpan look...???
GunnyG@PlanetWTF?
TRUMP.45! IF? We Can Keep Him?????

This article is about efforts of the PRC to “keep their kids in line” while they study abroad. Sure, these kids were always monitored to some degree, but this is more overt.
Communists? Maybe in name only.
They are mercantilists.
When I read the headline, I thought ... “Well, maybe ... it depends on whom they intend to imprison in the cells.”
Closer to fascists.
Do we need to take China to its knees too?
Going into competition with Communist Party, USA?
With our university’s anti-America attitude already excepted by colluding with Russia, this is just a precursor to invasion.
Madistan? Austin?
