Trump administration strengthens management of Chinese educational institution "Confucius Institute" 8:48 on August 14
The Trump administration of the United States must report administrative funds etc. and strengthen management, saying that "Institution of Confucius Institute" that teaches Chinese at domestic universities etc. I decided.
The Confucius Institute is an institution established by the Chinese government in cooperation with universities in each country to teach Chinese and Chinese culture, and there are 75 in the United States.
Regarding this, US Secretary of State Pompeio issued a statement on the 13th and designated it as a foreign government agency similar to foreign embassies and others, saying that it "has a bad influence on education through political publicity in China etc." Then I announced.
This means that Confucius Institute will be obliged to notify the US government of the staff names, operating funds, and educational contents in the future.
In the United States, as the conflict with China grows fiercer, in the United States, hard-line lawmakers and others in China have questioned that the Confucius Institute aims to expand the influence of China, and the closures are continuing everywhere. ..
In February this year, the Trump administration will oblige China's major media to report the assets they own and the personal information of reporters.
