Republican Senators Question College Board Over Alleged Ties With Chinese Government

A group of seven Republican senators are demanding that the College Board explain its role in the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) propaganda campaign aimed at the United States’ primary education system.

In an Oct. 26 letter (pdf) to College Board CEO David Coleman, the senators asked the New York-based education company to explain the nature of its partnership with Hanban, the Chinese government agency that oversees the Confucius Institutes (CI) around the world, including 75 in the United States. In August, State Secretary Mike Pompeo designated the Confucius Institute’s U.S. headquarters as a foreign mission, describing the program as “an entity advancing Beijing’s global propaganda and malign influence campaign on U.S. campuses and K-12 classrooms.”

Citing an August report from the National Association of Scholars (NAS), the senators expressed concerns that the decade-long relationship between College Board and Hanban could serve as a gateway for Beijing to influence young American minds. According to the NAS report, the College Board has worked with Hanban since at least 2003 to develop the Advanced Placement (AP) Chinese Language and Culture exam, which remains one of the most popular AP programs in foreign languages. Some 13,000 students took the exam in 2019.

The NAS report further alleged that College Board also helped Hanban set up 15 CI classrooms and place some 1,650 government-approved Chinese language teachers in high schools across the country, in exchange for $700,000 funding from the Chinese government. NAS President Peter Wood also said that previous NAS reports have documented an “ideological skew” in the AP U.S. History and AP European History courses, affecting the learning of tens of thousands of American students.

“We are concerned that the PRC exploits its partnership with College Board to stifle conversation that might undermine the reputation of the CCP,”

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has said he welcomes Chinese intrusion into
“all levels of [U.S.] government, classrooms, laboratories, athletic fields and boardrooms....even the US military.”

The Biden comments – unearthed from a 2011 Sichuan University speech – demonstrate either a fundamental misunderstanding of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), or outright collusion with it. The former veep stated at the time: “In order to cement this robust partnership, we have to go beyond close ties between Washington and Beijing, which we’re working on every day, go beyond it to include all levels of government, go beyond it to include classrooms and laboratories, athletic fields and boardrooms.”

Biden, 77, even advocated for closer ties between the U.S. and CCP on the military front: “…that’s why it’s also important that our military leaders work together, get to know one another — not just our political leaders, but our military leaders.”

Biden takes this reckless approach to the private sector, too: “The United States should undertake to make it easier for Chinese business people to obtain visas to travel to the United States. It takes much too long for that to happen.”

During the 50-minutes he spoke,Biden expressed support for granting China increased access to high-tech U.S. products: “Already, we have made thousands of new items available for export to China for exclusive civilian use that were not available before, and tens of thousands of more items will become available very soon. That’s a significant change in our export policy and a rejection of those voices in America that say we should not export that kind of technology to – for civilian use in – China. We disagree, and we’re changing.”

critics are right to oppose exports of this nature: they often have military applications and can end up in the hands of the CCP. And despite his insistence in the speech trade with China “supports hundreds of thousands of jobs in America” and insists “it’s in our mutual interest in each of our countries to promote that exchange,” the nearly 4 million jobs lost in under 20 years due to China’s predatory trading practices such as currency manipulation tell a different story.

China’s exports have even harmed American lives: Chinese toys are made with toxic lead paint; Chinese fish are carcinogenic due to the country’s polluted water; Chinese candy has been contaminated formaldehyde; and Chinese drywall is made with radioactive material.

Biden, however, insists: “I believed in 1979 and said so and I believe now that a rising China is a positive development,

BIDEN, PELOSI, CLINTON, DEMOCRATS IN LOCKSTEP WITH COMMUNIST CHINA

The monumental disaster of the Clinton US-China Relations Act is becoming clearer. It was Bill Clinton’s last (cough) "presidential accomplishment," the historic moment when a Democrat president of the greatest superpower of all time, sap-happily handed its demise to a backward country, poised to strip America of its intellectual and technological superiority.

CLINTON SAP-HAPPILY SIGNING OVER AMERICAN SUPERIORITY TO BACKWARD CHINA

Feb 20, 2020 Pelosi went to Cali Chinatown to stick it to Pres Trump. She tweeted:
"It was a pleasure to make fortune cookies at the Golden Gate Fortune Cookie Factory."
There's no confusion WRT her China loyalties; the message she placed inside the fortune cookie? “United We Stand.”

When he threw his hat into the 2020 ring, Biden came out swinging. He mocked President Donald Trump's position on China at a campaign rally.

BIDEN: Trump says “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man...they can’t even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the east, I mean in the west.... they can’t even figure out how they’re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system.'

"I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what, they’re not, they’re not competition for us.”

Did $uckup$, Joe and Hunter Biden help China compile “The Friendly US Governors’ List?”
The toadying Bidens have untold ways to $uckup to China for lucrative in$ider deal$.

CHINA NETWORKING IN US --Secy of State Mike Pompeo Has the List
American Governors Rated ‘Friendly’ by Communist China
pjmedia.com | 2/9/2020 | MEGAN FOX

In a shocking speech to the National Governors Association, Secretary Mike Pompeo revealed that he is in possession of a list of American governors who have been listed as “friendly” by Chinese Communist infiltrators. Pompeo said he had received an earlier invitation from a former governor to attend a networking event that promised great “deal-making” opportunities with the Chinese government. This networking event was run by “The Chinese People’s Association for Friendship in Foreign Countries,” said Pompeo.

But what the US participants might not have known is that “the group is the public face of the Chinese Communist party’s official foreign influence agency, the United Front Work Department.”

Pompeo knew of this connection from his former position at the CIA.

He questioned the governors on how many of them knew that this group was a Communist-front group. “What if you made a “new friend” at the China networking event?” he asked.

“What if your ‘new friend’ offered to invest big money in your state: (A) perhaps in your pension fund, (B) or an investment in an industry sensitive to our national security?”

And then Pompeo dropped a huge bomb on the crowd. “These aren’t hypotheticals. Last year a Chinese government-backed think tank in Beijing produced a report that assessed all fifty of America’s governors on their attitudes toward China.

China labeled each pol friendly, hardline, or ambiguous.” Pompeo continued, “I’ll let you decide where you think you belong, someone in China already has. Many of you, indeed, in that report, are referenced by name.” (Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com …
