Researchers warn against the Chinese regime’s efforts to “indoctrinate and spy” on students at U.S. universities, in an online webinar held on Aug. 17.

The event, hosted by the Washington-based think tank Hudson Institute, explored the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) “cognitive warfare” campaign, which aims to “promote CCP propaganda, spy on and intimidate Chinese exchange students, shape American views about the United States, and steal scientific, technological, and military research,” according to the webinar’s website.
