בארה"ב דנים בהשפעה זרה על המוסדות להשכלה גבוהה

The Senate today examining the issue of maligned foreign influence at U.S. colleges and universities and what can be done about it. NTD correspondent Jason Blair has the takeaways from a hearing on Capitol Hill. We need to know if other countries are trying to steal research or influence our campuses with an anti-american ideology. Senate lawmakers and experts discuss the problem of maliciously intended foreign influence at U.S. universities. I think it was a 2019 Senate investigation revealed that Chinese intellectual property thefts on campus robbed us of 200 to 600 billion dollars a year. But did you know that in China they passed two laws that require all nationals, not just their students, but all nationals to cooperate with the CCP and provide information on demand? I'm concerned, yes, that we are in a situation where the Chinese students are subject to state pressure to cooperate with their government. Even if they don't want to, they will. Senator Bill Cassidy says that in 2020, the Department of Justice indicted a Harvard University chemistry chairman for lying about his affiliation with China's Thousand Talents Plan, a research recruitment program run by the Chinese Communist Party to lure talented Chinese students back to China. Dr. Peter Wood says that China's Confucius Institutes, which have a history of influencing Americans, have rebranded, but their goal remains the same. What do Americans actually know about China? Well, if they are engaged in universities with Confucius Institutes or their successors, they're not learning anything about the South China Sea, Tibet, the Uyghurs, organ harvesting, the vast number of mischievous things, let's call them, Another expert explained that some American universities that have campuses in other countries don't have full control over what's taught there. Largely, there was a bipartisan agreement that the U.S. needs to find ways to deal with these issues without excluding people or groups that do make donations or study at U.S. colleges without malicious intent.
