An exclusive report by Campus Reform, America’s leading college news website, detailed a recent investigation into the Chinese regime’s operation in American classrooms.
Through public records requests in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act, Campus Reform obtained 32 universities’ contracts with the Confucius Institute Headquarters.
In several documents, Beijing dictated control over the curriculum taught within the Confucius Institute.
For instance, the contract between the University of Toledo and Hanban, the Confucius Institute Headquarters in China, states that “The Institute must accept the assessment of [Hanban] on the teaching quality.”
Hanban is an agency under the Chinese regime’s education ministry, which is known to severely censor language course material and distort history to mislead students in China.
Baruch College in New York said it more clearly in its agreement with Hanban. “Baruch College acknowledges that the Headquarters has the final right to determine the programs to which it provides funding,” and Baruch College has the obligation to “accept the project assessments conducted by the Headquarters,” according to the contract.
Similarly, Central Connecticut State University agreed that “The University Institute shall review evaluations and recommendations made by the Confucius Institute Headquarters on the quality of the programs and make any necessary modifications.”
James Giordano, a professor of neurology at Georgetown University and a senior researcher in biosecurity, technology, and ethics at the U.S. Naval War College, told Campus Reform that the language in the agreements explicitly revealed that “what is taught, and what is promulgated at the Confucius Institute only occurs under the auspices of the central political system [of China].”
He believes that Confucius Institutes are not an independent entity, but a direct outreach program of the CCP, which controls American classrooms in an attempt to reshape people’s view about China.

First thing Biden dud was drop transparency rules regarding this.
Rules Trump put in that were working.
The only reason to rescind the rules was to make it possible again to stealthily be funded by the ChiComs.
Biden is illegitimate.
That’s why we have so many communists in training running around.
American colleges: We value our independence!
China: Here’s a trunk full of money.
American colleges: We will clap like trained seals. How loud do you want us to clap?

No Chinese entity that functions overseas is “independent” of the Red Chinese Communist Party!
If you accept that premise as your starting point when looking at Red Chinese operations anywhere in the world, then everything will make sense.
“influences????”...heck the Chinese have a stronghold on our universities big time.
Having worked in a Fed lab and universities, many researchers spend more time traveling then researching. It is easier, more exciting and prestitous to travel than discover something new. University alumni news brochures for decades have had more articles on trips overseas pertaining to cooperative activities than articles of research performed in the USA.
Well it’s a racket to keep the grants and funding flowing.
I suspect there’s been various Cancer cures out there for years, however what will happen to all the Cancer research centers, Clincs and Hospitals, Insitutions centered around Cancer......they would take a huge financial hit.
Confusius say “Girl who stand on head have crack up”
Money is certainly part of it, but it more about the prestige for the professors and department to be able to claim to have an international research program. Prestige is pride and pride opens one up to being deceived into allowing the other party (China in particular here) to dictate their desires.
Actually their students pay $$$$ in full to attend...so it’s a cash cow.
