Bloomberg: Confucius Institutes to be designated as Foreign Mission of the PRC
Sources close to the U.S. Department of State told Bloomberg that the Confucius Institute U.S. Centre was to be designed as a foreign mission of the PRC. Shortly after the news was published, the State Department made the official announcement on Thursday, August 13. Such action further escalates the tension between China and the U.S.
Confucius Institutes with heavy presence in universities and colleges around the world, have been established for more than ten years, dedicated to promoting Chinese culture. However, many Western countries recently question the ulterior motive of the institutes using their teaching as a tool to expand political influence. The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) of the U.S. released a report last year that the institutes are used as a propaganda tool controlled by China and have too much control over the institutes in America. Universities and colleges are called on to close their Confucius Institutes.
If the State Department of U.S. requires Confucius Institutes to register as “foreign missions”, it means that the institutes are “substantially owned or effectively controlled” by the Chinese government. According to the Foreign Missions Act, these organisations need to register all personnel roster and their property holdings in the U.S. with the U.S. State Department. They have to follow administrative requirements and to be ruled that similar to embassies and consulates.

#Japan Should Not Ignore #TikTok Data Security Risks
Liberal Democratic Party Proposal on Restricting the Use as early as September
Followed by the ban on the use of TikTok in India and the request from the U.S. on the parent company of TikTok for selling the local business of ByteDance, the Ruling Liberal Democratic Party’s Tax Panel Chief of Japan Akira Amari, said that Japan should not ignore the data security risks from the use of TikTok.
During the interview on Fuji Television Network on Aug 16, Amari pointed that other countries such as the United Kingdom, India and the U.S. are aware of the data security risks of TikTok, which the Japanese government should not ignore. “Japan cannot just stand beside and watch because many countries have pointed out the risks,” he said.
Amari added, Japanese companies should assume that partnerships with Chinese firms would lead to data leakage. If Japan compromised on data security, other countries, who supported freedom, democracy and the rule of law, might rule out Japan, which posed a crisis to Japan. “Japan is the country with the least sense of crisis,” said Amari.
