Target to close all Confucius Institutes at America universities by the end of this year, Pompeo: China’s challenges are different from those during the Cold War
Mike Pompeo, the US Secretary of State, stated in an interview on Tuesday local time (1st September), hoping that all Confucius Institutes at America universities can be closed before the end of this year, and said “I believe everyone can see the risks that related with China”.
In an interview with the Fox Business News, Pompeo stated that the Confucius Institutes which sponsored by the Chinese government are trying to recruit spies and collaborators from America universities, and believed that the universities should be aware of this problem. He said frankly, “I hope in the end of this year, we can close them all”. The US State Department announced in mid-August, that the Confucius Institutes to be registered as ‘Foreign Mission’. Pompeo described such organisation as ‘an entity that promotes Beijing’s global propaganda and vicious influence’. David Stilwell, the Chief Diplomat of the East Coast region, also asked those universities to ‘carefully’ understand what the Confucius Institutes have done.
The Sino-US relation has become increasingly tense, but when Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the event of the French Institutes of International Relations few days ago, he had stated that ‘China never want a new Cold War’, and thought that “it is impossible to have a ‘new cold war’, to divide the world into two or three parties” in the era of globalization. In the interview that Pompeo had spoken with the Fox Business News, he responded that the Cold War analogy has a certain significance, but emphasized that the challenges from China are a bit different now, and US is also in face of economic challenge.
Pompeo pointed out that in response to the challenges, the Trump government has already taken various actions to limit the Huawei and other Chinese companies, and will see more actions and new announcements in the coming days. He said, “I hope in the coming days and weeks, I will see the US responding these challenges seriously, and all of this are for the sake of America’s economic benefits”.

Beijing used influence over B.C. schools and Confucius Institute to push its agenda and keep tabs on Canadian politics
The Confucius Institute primarily delivers extracurricular Mandarin instruction and cultural programming, but critics see it as a source of pro-China propaganda. Concerns about Chinese government influence have prompted other Canadian school districts to abandon Confucius offerings, including the Toronto District School Board in 2014 and New Brunswick by 2022.
According to documents obtained by The Globe and Mailg, activities by the institute go beyond the language program. The program’s administrators in China requested reports on the “external environment” – including politics and diplomacy – as well as attitudes toward the institute among local government and community leaders.

Many of Confucius Institute US Center's directors are #CCP members, the previous administration tried to check their influence in #American schools, but #Biden said they're welcome :D Is this part of his "strategic patience" with #China?

GOOD MOVE! Canberra needs to continue to step out China’s influence throughout the country, such as Confucius institutes in public schools and sellout of key national industries.
