US Universities Got Over $300M From Sanctioned China Entities
Newsweek ^ | 7/18/26

Posted on 07/18/2026 3:44:28 PM PDT by CFW

Spooked by a decades-long outflow of top Amerian science and technology to adversaries, the Department of Education has disclosed new data on donations to American universities by foreign companies and universities that today are sanctioned by the U.S., including 527 donations from Chinese entities.

A spreadsheet of 697 donations in total, obtained by Newsweek, is titled "Counterparties of Concern" and includes 156 donations to U.S. universities from Chinese technology giant Huawei and its U.S. subsidary FutureWei, totaling $42 million. Also prominent among donors was the Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT), one China's "Seven Sons of National Defense" military-affiliated universities, which donated more than $49 million.

The data aims to increase transparency in the U.S. and help end influence, as well as technology and knowledge outflow to China, said research security expert Jeffrey Stoff, President of the Center for Research Security & Integrity. Universities were not disclosing all donations, Stoff told Newsweek. "They [Department of Education] intend to enforce the reporting rules more aggressively," he said.

In total, dozens of U.S. universities received $405 million dollars from the now-sanctioned Chinese entities as well as entities in Russia, Serbia and Israel, the data shows, with $309 million coming from China.

Donations from Russia totaled $66 million and mostly went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Spokeswoman Kimberly Allen said that MIT had sent notice to the Russian partner that it was terminating the collaboration following Russia's military attack on Ukraine in 2022.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Federal funding needs to be pulled from these universities. All they are producing are communists and traitors to our country.

And not a single one of these universities will face any consequences.

If this was a real country the board of trustees should be arrested and questioned about these funds.

we mustn’t let ourselves think our Beijing enemies are stupid. This $$$$ is one of their best investments in weakening, tearing America down from within.
Very astute.

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions. (Including Teacher's Unions-my emphasis)

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [”]united force[”] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

I don’t kick gift horses in the mouth.

“Federal funding needs to be pulled from ... universities. ... they are producing are communists and traitors to our country.”

The federal student loan program should grant no new loans.

The IRS might have a payback collection scheme for colleges of say 2% of income above what a person would make in 1,500 hours making the state population weighed, state minimum hourly wage of all states per year of college attendance up to four for the first degree and up to three years for a graduate degree.

[To ensure equality and fairness, for all students and colleges enrolling in the IRS scheme, the total tuition amount that paid upfront and is owed upon leaving must be equal for all participants in any particular degree program of a college. Interest rates must be the same for all and not more than 200 basis points above the IRS rate.]

There can be a case made for some research funding. It should have expected value to physics, chemistry, biochemistry, industry, national defense, or medical treatment.

Over the past two decades, Israeli sources officially reported approximately $340 million to $375 million in gifts and contracts to U.S. colleges and universities.

These disclosures are made to the U.S. Department of Education under Section 117 of the Higher Education Act, which requires schools to report foreign gifts and contracts exceeding $250,000.

However, the exact total remains difficult to pinpoint.

Experts and government investigations have frequently cited under-reporting by Israeli institutions, as some money is steered through separate Israeli foundations to bypass transparency requirements.


Reference the U.S. Department of Education Foreign Gifts Database
or the “American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise” for specialized historical analyses.

Once again ... Universities have morphed from Institutes of Higher Learning into cesspools of disinformation and most professors are just turds floating around in those cesspools.

Wow. Thanks for posting that list of Communist goals.

I have lost track since Masters of Deceit by J. Edgar Hoover.
(joke). Had that as a mass market paperback as a youth and now as a hardcover next to The FBI Story. A commenter on Fox News has the same two books on the shelf behind him.

Where is this list from?

Like I said, my grandfather, a Lutheran preacher, was a missionary in Hunan, China for a while. Several aunts and an uncle were born there.
His view was: Do not ever trust the CCP because they are out to destroy America in every way possible….our last war will involve China and communism.
He was absolutely correct.
They are buying up our land, infiltrating our government and in cahoots with islam(for their own purposes). They have CCP operatives in our university system on visas.
The demoncrats have gone islamocommie.
And right now the CCP is assisting Iran’s IRGC big time with maneuverable missiles and other target information.

The Naked Communist is a 1958 anti-communist book by W. Cleon Skousen, a former FBI employee. The "45 goals of communism" were added in the 8th edition published in 1961.[6] The 2017 edition of the book includes a new chapter asserting that 44 of the goals have been achieved in the U.S.[3][6] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Naked_Communist
