A House select committee focused on China is demanding answers from Harvard University over an incident on campus in April, when students protesting a speech by China’s ambassador to the United States were removed against their will.
In a letter to interim Harvard University President Alan Garber on July 1, Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), chairman of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), said that the April incident could be another example of the CCP’s efforts to silence its critics outside of its borders.
