Confucius Institute: Beijing’s Trojan Horse
The primary tool of China’s infiltration on U.S. college campuses are the Beijing-funded Confucius Institutes, the 68-page report authored by FDD’s Adjunct Fellow Craig Singleton found.
The report vindicates the position taken by former President Donald Trump’s administration, which took measures to weed out these Beijing-controlled institutes from U.S. universities.
In August 2020, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo described the Confucius Institutes operating at U.S. campuses as "an entity advancing Beijing’s global propaganda and malign influence." These institutes were working to recruit "spies and collaborators" at American campuses, Pompeo warned.
Following the tough stance taken by the Trump State Department, the number of Confucius Institutes have dropped from 113 in 2018 to 28 in 2021. The FDD report concludes that the "CI closures have significantly eroded malign Chinese influence on college campuses."
