Australia’s most populous state is expelling China’s state-sponsored Confucius Institute from its education department, and scrapping the Confucius Classrooms program from 13 public schools following a year-long internal review sparked by ongoing public concern over foreign interference.
The Confucius Institute (CI) program—administered by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP’s) agency Hanban—currently provides classes to 15 percent of Chinese language students in New South Wales public schools, according to the department’s report.
