In his Georgia speech, Secretary of State Pompeo falsely suggests the CCP "sends 400,000 students a year to the United States." The vast majority of those students send themselves with no government backing or funding.
Mentions incidents of Chinese students being harassed for taboo politics, like case of Yang Shuping at Maryland in 2017. “Some of the CCP’s biggest victims on campuses are innocent Chinese nationals themselves. And this is a tragedy. We have a responsibility to police this.”
Alludes to Princeton Chinese politics class that uses "code names" to protect Chinese students.
"American students talk about safe spaces as shelter from ideas they dislike. Chinese students need safe spaces to learn of ideas that they love. What a stark contrast."
"American students talk about safe spaces as shelter from ideas they dislike. Chinese students need safe spaces to learn of ideas that they love. What a stark contrast."
Pompeo complains that "so many of our colleges are bought by Beijing" and that many are "hooked on Chinese Communist Party cash." Stops short of calling for an obvious solution to this alleged problem: better funding universities.
