I flera år har Harvard välkomnat högt uppsatta tjänstemän från det kinesiska kommunistpartiet till sina program.
Men nu höjer amerikanska myndigheter varningsflaggor – de slår larm om risker för nationell säkerhet och växande utländskt inflytande på amerikansk mark. Låt oss titta närmare.

For decades, Harvard University has trained Chinese civil servants and sometimes their family members.
According to a new report from Wall Street Journal,
students include, among others, a former vice-chairman of the party and a former vice prime minister.
Recently, China's leader Xi Jinping's daughter has also been caught in the spotlight.
Some American legislators believe that the Chinese Communist Party is exploiting American schools
to gather knowledge and competence in order to use it against the United States and American interests.
Among Harvard's alumni are Li Yuanchao, former vice-chairman of the Communist Party of China,
Liu He, former vice prime minister and trade negotiator,
Li Hongzhong, current member of the Politburo and senior legislator.
In the early 2000s, Harvard launched a short-term program called China's Leaders in Development,
where education was shared between Harvard and Tsinghua University in Beijing.
Harvard stated that the purpose of the program was to help highly-employed local and central Chinese government officials
to more effectively deal with China's ongoing reform challenges.
On May 28, the Department of State of the United States announced
that it would sharpen the visa limit for Chinese applicants and aggressively introduce visas for Chinese students,
especially those with connections to the Communist Party or who study in sensitive areas.
The Department of State has not yet revealed any details about which criteria the Trump administration will use in the decision-making.
On May 22, the Trump administration announced that it intends to introduce Harvard's permission to accept U.S. students.
Harvard took 30 days to make the decision and has now submitted a petition.
