Democrats Protect Chinese Communist Propaganda ‘Confucius’ Groups From Punitive Action
House Democrats revised a bill targetting universities that house Chinese government-funded “Confucius Institutes,†blocking the Department of Education’s ability to restrict their funding and curtail Chinese Communist Party influence on campus.
The bill, which unanimously passed in the Senate, included a provision that allowed the Department of Education to withhold funding from universities hosting Chinese government-backed Confucius Institutes.
The amended version, which passed Congress on December 11th, significantly neutered this provision. Now, only the Defense Department to withhold federal funding from universities.
