The chairmen of two House committees are calling on Duke University to end its partnership with China’s Wuhan University, saying that the relationship is advancing the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) military ambitions at the expense of U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), chair of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, and Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.), chair of the Committee on Education and Workforce, expressed their concerns in a letter, dated May 14, addressed to Duke University President Vincent Price.
