US Secretary of Defense Pat Hegseth has said that the Chinese-funded Confucius Institutes, cultural centers in American universities, pose a threat to US national security.
According to Arab News, Washington has long accused Confucius Institutes of being tools of Chinese propaganda, and various measures have been taken against them.
"It turned out that 80 new propaganda centers had been established at 30 universities under different names and different charters, but with the same goal: to steal intellectual property and influence the minds of American students," Hegseth said.
