Some observers dubbed Harvard a de facto \u201cparty school,\u201d as the party\u2019s own training academies for promising bureaucrats are known.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf we were to rank the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s \u2018overseas party schools,\u2019 the one deserving top spot has to be Harvard University\u2019s Kennedy School of Government in the U.S.,\u201d said a 2014 commentary published by Shanghai Observer, an online platform run by the city\u2019s main party newspaper.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/china-harvard.jpg?itok=lPq2kPYM\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The problem, however, goes well beyond the issue of foreign nationals taking American seats in American schools.\u00a0 The CCP is notorious for using US universities as a training ground for CCP spies, not to mention using them as vehicles for the dissemination of communist propaganda.<\/p>\n<p>Stanford <a href=\"https:\/\/stanfordreview.org\/investigation-uncovering-chinese-academic-espionage-at-stanford\/\">recently addressed<\/a> the threat within their own halls, noting the exposure of a Chinese spy operating under the alias &#8220;Charles Chen&#8221; who posed as a student and attempted to glean information from other students and possibly recruit them for CCP operations.\u00a0 These operations extend to Chinese nationals studying abroad, as The Stanford Review states:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Transnational repression, $64 million in Chinese funding, and allegations of racial profiling have contributed to a pervasive culture of silence at Stanford and beyond.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It is this pervasive silence that has compelled us to write. After interviewing multiple anonymous Stanford faculty, students, and China experts, we can confirm that the CCP is orchestrating a widespread intelligence-gathering campaign at Stanford. In short, there are Chinese spies at Stanford&#8230;&#8221; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chinese communist propaganda operations in colleges started with the proliferation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/homeland-security\/commentary\/confucius-institutes-chinas-trojan-horse\">&#8220;Confucious Institute&#8221; in 2004<\/a>.\u00a0 The program latched onto dozens of US schools like a parasitic organism, posing as an effort to foster understanding of Chinese culture.\u00a0 In reality, it was designed to influence US education to favor CCP ideals, recruit American students to CCP causes and keep an eye on the activities of Chinese students abroad.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Harvard was, of course, one of those schools.\u00a0 After the exposure of Confucious Institute and its motives, the CCP shifted into different programs with different names but the same overall goals.\u00a0 As mentioned, the amount of cash flowing from China into these colleges is extensive, which creates incentives for schools like Harvard to keep their eyes down and their mouth shut.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump placing Harvard under a microscope helps to illuminate the wider problem across all of America&#8217;s top universities.\u00a0 It&#8217;s common to point out the influence of NGOs and woke activism in undermining higher education in the US, but what about foreign interests?\u00a0 This danger is far less understood.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s freeze on more than $3 billion in research grants and his actions to ban foreign enrollment at Harvard for Chinese communist party members are an opening salvo in a war that is long overdue.\u00a0 The fact of the matter is, US colleges have not served the American public in a very long time.\u00a0 Rather, they have served foreign masters and globalist NGOs, indoctrinating America&#8217;s youth with deconstruction cultism and communist ideology that poisons the academic nest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Drastic measures would have to be taken if the damage is ever to be reversed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>      <span class=\"field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden\"><a title=\"View user profile.\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/users\/tyler-durden\" class=\"username\">Tyler Durden<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden\">Mon, 06\/02\/2025 &#8211; 13:25<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/geopolitical\/chinese-communist-officials-call-harvard-their-party-school\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/geopolitical\/chinese-communist-officials-call-harvard-their-party-school<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese Communist Officials Call Harvard Their &#8220;Party School&#8221; The Trump Administration&#8217;s latest effort to reduce foreign influence in US institutions has led to Harvard University,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1539434,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1539433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","wpcat-1-id"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pbimBl-6stz","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/06\/china-harvard-DUPH9V.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1539433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1539433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1539433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1539434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1539433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1539433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1539433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
