Brock University is the latest Canadian school to end its relationship with Beijing’s Confucius Institute, part of a growing trend in North America and other parts of the world where educational institutions are cutting ties with the program.
Confucius Institutes (CI) are run by an agency of the Chinese regime headquartered in Beijing. They are branded as educational and cultural programs, but have been cited by intelligence agencies as being a part of the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda tools to exert influence abroad and control activities to Beijing’s liking on campus.
