Confucius Institutes: trojan horses with Chinese characteristics

[Anonymous]

They are not benevolent cultural institutes.



Confucius Institutes are described as non-profit public institutions aligned with the government of the People's Republic of China whose purpose is to promote Chinese language and culture, as well as facilitate cultural exchanges. This seemingly benign purpose leaves out a number of purposes both salient and sinister, namely, sanitizing China's image abroad, enhancing its "soft power" globally, and creating a new generation of China watchers who well-disposed towards the Communist dictatorship.1



While the Confucius Institutes are sometimes compared to France's Alliance Francaise and Germany's Goethe-Institut, this is misleading. Unlike the latter, Confucius Institutes are neither independent from their government, nor do they occupy their own premises. Instead, they are located within established universities and colleges around the world, and are directed and funded by the so-called Office of Chinese Language Council International (Hanban), located in Beijing, which answers in turn to the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China and, chiefly, to the United Front Work Department of the Chinese Communist Party.



The ongoing controversies surrounding the operation of the Confucius Institute program go far beyond its name, of course. They include, as already mentioned, the troubling fact that Hanban is effectively run by the CCP's United Front Work Department. In addition, there have been allegations of Confucius Institutes undermining academic freedom at host universities, engaging in industrial and military espionage, monitoring the activities of Chinese students abroad, and attempting to advance the Chinese Party-State's political agenda on such issues as the Dalai Lama and Tibet, Taiwan independence, the pro-democracy movement abroad, and dissent within China itself.

They are part of the CCP and therefore no different than the People's Daily.



CSIS flags institute as propaganda tool



A 2013 intelligence report by CSIS warned that Chinese leaders identified Confucius as "an organization for spreading propaganda and building soft power" and spoke of a "perception that CIs do not allow discussion of topics that the Chinese government deems sensitive," such as the political situation in Tibet and Taiwan or the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.

I want to read this book.



China expert Robert Spalding reveals the shocking success China has had infiltrating American institutions and compromising our national security.



The media often suggest that Russia poses the greatest threat to America's national security, but the real danger lies farther east. While those in power have been distracted and disorderly, China has waged a six-front war on America's economy, military, diplomacy, technology, education, and infrastructure--and they're winning. It's almost too late to undo the shocking, though nearly invisible, victories of the Chinese.



In Stealth War, retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Spalding reveals China's motives and secret attacks on the West. Chronicling how our leaders have failed to protect us over recent decades, he provides shocking evidence of some of China's most brilliant ploys, including:



  •  Placing Confucius Institutes in universities across the United States that serve to monitor and control Chinese students on campus and spread communist narratives to unsuspecting American students.



  •  Offering enormous sums to American experts who create investment funds that funnel technology to China.



  •  Signing a thirty-year agreement with the US that allows China to share peaceful nuclear technology, ensuring that they have access to American nuclear know-how.



Spalding's concern isn't merely that America could lose its position on the world stage. More urgently, the Chinese Communist Party has a fundamental loathing of the legal protections America grants its people and seeks to create a world without those rights.



Despite all the damage done so far, Spalding shows how it's still possible for the U.S. and the rest of the free world to combat--and win--China's stealth war.

China has it's own agenda and the West is blind to it.

She is as much of a China shill as Shen Li is.

China's ambassador to South Africa on Friday cheered former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for advancing the Chinese Communist Party's official line about the coronavirus not being a "Chinese virus."



"Justice always speak loudly," Tian Xuejun tweeted.

A lot of new diseases are named after the place of origin or after the patient zero.





Though I would have a problem if they named some micropenis disease or an STD after me.
