San Francisco State University, the University of Oregon and Western Kentucky University all announced within the last two weeks that they would close their Confucius Institutes after the Department of Defense declined their requests for waivers that would allow them to continue to operate both a Confucius Institute and a Defense Department-funded Chinese Language Flagship program. The National Defense Authorization Act signed into law last August prohibits universities that host Confucius Institutes from receiving Defense Department funding for Chinese language study. The Pentagon declined all requests it received for waivers to that prohibition, according to Newsweek…
…At their peak, close to 100 American universities hosted Confucius Institutes, which typically offer Chinese language classes, cultural programs, and outreach to K-12 schools. An increasing number of colleges have closed the institutes as they have come under scrutiny from lawmakers who view them as platforms for Chinese government propaganda.

"Confucius Institutes, which are managed by an arm of the Chinese Ministry of Education called Hanban and are funded by the party's propaganda department, were first launched in the U.S. in 2004. At their peak, there more than 100 at universities across the country, but over the past 18 months around a dozen have closed.
Chinese officials have admitted, the institutes play a crucial role in China's soft power and propaganda efforts and have been linked to the United Front, the secretive arm of the CCP that tries to promote the party's policies overseas. Last year, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee that the agency had "concerns about the Confucius Institutes."
In a letter last year urging a number of Florida universities to close their Confucius Institutes, Senator Marco Rubio called this sort of self-censorship "much more difficult to measure but no less insidious."
This view is shared by fellow Republican Senator Ted Cruz, who sponsored the language in last year's defense spending bill.
"Senator Cruz believes that Confucius Institutes are one of many ways the Chinese Communist Party infiltrates American campuses, engages in academic espionage and suppresses education about China," a Cruz spokesman told Newsweek. "The U.S. government has no business subsidizing their propaganda, and in fact it’s in America’s interest to counter Chinese propaganda and stop intellectual property theft in our schools and universities."
