House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and other senior GOP representatives on Wednesday urged President Joe Biden to “resubmit the previously proposed rule regarding Confucius Institute reporting without delay” to forge solutions in the face of “CCP threats to U.S. education and research integrity.”

“Addressing the generational threat of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is a preeminent national security concern for the United States,” McCarthy said in the statement.
