Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) introduced a bill on Thursday to protect American education from malign Chinese influence.

Like a bill passed in the House on Wednesday, Mr. Rubio’s legislation requires colleges to report any funding from foreign adversaries, including China. It lowers the reporting threshold from $250,000 to $50,000 for other foreign sources.
