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.

According to a senior congressional aide, the amendment narrowed the bill to “safeguarding Defense-funded research activities instead of the broad range of protections the original bill contemplated.” This also would make it easier for Confucius Institutes to continue operating on the elementary, middle, and high school levels.

The Trump administration designated Confucius Institutes “foreign missions” in light of their Chinese government funding and dissemination of propaganda geared towards making students “advocate for the interests of the Chinese Communist Party.”

Senator John Kennedy, who helped write the anti-Confucius Institute measure, said Democrats “gutted” a key weapon to counter Chinese Communist Party influence in academia.

“Communist China is still buying influence on U.S. campuses, yet Democrats gutted a National Defense Authorization Act amendment that would protect academic freedom and give U.S. colleges control over what Confucius Institutes teach on our soil,” he added.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy similarly blasted Democrats for failing to tackle the Chinese government.

It’s more plausible to be alarmed about this than a lot of the scenarios floated by us.
 
They are rebranding to be seen as more middle of the road. - “Ministry of Education for Language Education and Cooperation.”
According to the South China Morning Post , Beijing has decided to rename Hanban, the headquarters for its Confucius Institutes, to the “Ministry of Education Centre for Language Education and Cooperation.” The SCMP is owned by the Chinese company Alibaba, which has strong ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

The purpose of the new centre would be to “uphold the concept of openness, inclusiveness, and respect, trust, and strive to provide assistance to people from all over the world in learning Chinese as much as possible” Ma Jianfei, deputy director and Communist Party secretary of the Confucius Institute Headquarters, said during the online National Chinese Language Conference in June.

How is McCarthy’s strategy going to help our farmers sell their crops to China or anywhere else?
