The Chinese Gov't uses Confucius Institutes to spread communist propaganda & stifle academic freedom at our colleges and universities.

I am deeply disappointed by the Biden admin's decision to allow these entities to operate & influence our students.
Portman statement Biden Admin's Confucius Institute Decision

In 2019 I led a bipartisan investigation into Confucius Institutes, which revealed a stunning lack of transparency about how Confucius Institutes operate in the US & how they are controlled, funded & largely staffed by the Chinese Communist Party https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/PSI%20Report%20China's%20Impact%20on%20the%20US%20Education%20System.pdf
Absent full transparency regarding how and where Confucius Institutes operate, Confucius Institutes should not operate in the United States and be allowed to influence American students.
