Chapter 08 Infiltrate the United States as the Enemy (5)

CNA is the overseas center of the CCP’s foreign propaganda and its president is a senior CCP official. Every two years, the CCP organizes the World Chinese Media Forum in China, holds advanced training courses for overseas Chinese media, invites hundreds of overseas Chinese media directors and editors, and journalists to visit China and covers the key construction models of the “Belt and Road”, and serves as a sounding board for the CCP’s global strategy. The CCP has done a lot of unification work for overseas Chinese media, making Chinese media, Chinese schools (including Confucius Institutes) and Chinese associations the “three treasures” of overseas “unification war”.

The Hoover Report, after citing the influence of the Chinese Communist Party on the Chinese media in the United States, has pointed out that there are few truly independent Chinese media outlets left in the United States today. The only truly independent Chinese media in the U.S. today are “Da Ji Yuan”, “Look at China”, “Voice of Hope”, “New Tang Dynasty TV” and a few other not-so-large media outlets that are truly independent of the CCP.

The Communist Party of China (CPC) has opened 110 Confucius Institutes and 500 Confucius Classrooms in the United States, using Confucius as a signboard, and in the name of learning Chinese, teaching Chinese literature, history, philosophy, and folk culture, stuffing Xi Jinping’s global governance, the Community of Human Destiny, the CPC’s two hundred-year strategy, inculcating communist ideology and socialism with Chinese characteristics. Propaganda infiltration and directing international students in universities to participate in political activities, to oppose the visit of Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama, to oppose protests against the suppression of Tibet, to prohibit discussion of topics related to criticism of the CCP and to interfere with academic freedom. The Confucius Institute is essentially a nest of spies for the Chinese Communist Party.

The University of Chicago and Penn State University suspended their Confucius Institute cooperation program in 2014 and on August 13, 2020 the U.S. State Department declared Confucius Institutes to be CCP missions abroad and a CCP propaganda apparatus. The CCP has over 400 Confucius Institutes in other countries around the world. France, Canada, and Australia have closed some Confucius Institutes and in Sweden all Confucius Institutes and classes were closed in 2020.

Xi Jinping ordered the renaming of the Confucius Institute after countries uncovered its inner intentions. In July 2020, the Chinese Communist Party’s Ministry of Education announced that the Confucius Institute had changed its name to the Language Exchange Center but everyone now understands that it is an old wine in a new bottle. No matter what name is used, the substance and mission will remain the same.

In January 2011, Hu Jintao intended to re-establish Confucius and approved the casting of a 9-meter-high, 9-ton statue of Confucius to be erected in the east of Tiananmen Square but it was not allowed by Jiang Zemin and after 3 months, the statue was dismantled in the middle of the night and put in a museum. Since Xi Jinping came to power, he visited the hometown of Confucius in Qufu, Shandong Province in 2014 under false pretenses, seemingly advocating Confucius but the giant statue of Confucius has remained in the museum and in the future, even the name of Confucius will not be mentioned.
