Led \u200bby Rep. Brandon Williams (NY-22), the letter expressed concerns about CCP funding in specific programs within school systems\u2062 and the New\u2062 York Department of Education.<\/p>\n<p>In\u2064 response, \u200dRep. Williams introduced the &#8220;Stop Funding Our Adversaries Act of 2023&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/118th-congress\/house-bill\/1800\/actions?s=1&#038;r=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">H.R. 1800<\/a>) in the 118th Congress. Williams stated that the legislation &#8220;strengthens protection on America&#8217;s\u2063 shores and bans American taxpayer \u200cdollars from funding any research with China&#8217;s Communist Party.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nicole Neily, President of PDE, \u200demphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in public schools, stating, &#8220;Transparency\u200c and accountability in public schools is not a partisan issue, and\u200b we hope the governor uses \u200cthe powers\u200b at her disposal to investigate the extent of these programs \u200cin New York \u200cpublic schools.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This issue goes beyond partisanship. The \u200cConfucius Institute has established a presence in 143 active \u2063and inactive districts, as well as 20 military bases across the country. CCP-funded programs like College Board and Asia Society\u200c have collaborated with the Confucius Institute to \u200ccustomize Chinese culture and language immersion\u2063 programs for U.S. school districts.

The report also stated that\u2062 the Confucius Institute has acted as a recruiter for\u200d Chinese government programs and assisted the Chinese \u2062Communist Party in designing and controlling \u200cAmerican teacher training programs.<\/p>\n<p>Hanban, the headquarters of the scrutinized Confucius Institute, released a <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20190620174721\/http:\/\/www.hanban.org\/report\/2017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">report<\/a> acknowledging that &#8220;Confucius Institutes have become\u2063 a vital force for international cooperation under the &#8216;Belt and Road&#8217; initiative.&#8221; This initiative, developed by the \u200dCCP,\u200d aims to expand China&#8217;s global influence. The U.S. has no \u2063official role in the program, and China&#8217;s use of Belt\u2062 and Road poses threats to American interests abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Republican representatives are demanding answers from Governor Hochul, but have yet to receive a response.
