The institute, also known as Hanban, is affiliated with the Chinese Ministry of Education,\u201d the Daily Caller News Foundation <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/02\/09\/biden-confucius-institute-trump-china\/\">reported<\/a>. \u201cMany of Hanban\u2019s directors are members of the Chinese Communist Party or have close ties to the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration submitted a rule at the very end of last year titled: \u201cEstablishing Requirement for Student and Exchange Visitor Program Certified Schools to Disclose Agreements with Confucius Institutes and Classrooms.\u201d The new Biden administration withdrew the proposed rule to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) just a few days after Biden was inaugurated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe rule would require colleges and K-12 schools that are certified to have foreign exchange programs to disclose any contracts, partnerships or financial transactions from Confucius Institutes or Classrooms,\u201d Axios <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/trump-chinese-funding-education-c34e3b73-0ec9-4e4c-ad30-fc183fa7f958.html\">reported<\/a> last month. \u201cA report from the Senate\u2019s Permanent Select Committee on Investigations found that nearly 70% of schools receiving more than $250,000 from organizations related to the Chinese government did not report the funding as legally required.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report further noted that China\u2019s influence in U.S. classrooms through Confucius Institutes was of particular concern to U.S. officials, especially Republicans. The report said U.S. officials were alarmed by the Confucius Institutes \u201cbecause they are funded and staffed by the Chinese Ministry of Education, and in numerous cases they have censored curricula and events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo\u2014a former CIA director who graduated #1 in his class at West Point Military Academy\u2014warned last year that communist China \u201chas taken advantage of America\u2019s openness to undertake large scale and well-funded propaganda efforts and influence operations in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pompeo made the remarks in a statement where he announced that the U.S. was designating Confucius Institutes a foreign mission of communist China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, the Department of State designated the Confucius Institute U.S. Center as a foreign mission of the PRC, recognizing CIUS for what it is:&nbsp; an entity advancing Beijing\u2019s global propaganda and malign influence campaign on U.S. campuses and K-12 classrooms,\u201d Pompeo said. \u201cConfucius Institutes are funded by the PRC and part of the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s global influence and propaganda apparatus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe goal of these actions is simple: to ensure that American educators and school administrators can make informed choices about whether these CCP-backed programs should be allowed to continue, and if so, in what fashion,\u201d he added. \u201cUniversities around the country and around the world are examining the Confucius Institutes\u2019 curriculum and the scope of Beijing\u2019s influence in their education systems. The United States wants to ensure that students on U.S. campuses have access to Chinese language and cultural offerings free from the manipulation of the Chinese Communist Party and its proxies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
