🚨 More than 100 students and faculty from ten American universities—including Harvard, Columbia and the University of Chicago—just attended a briefing with a senior Chinese Communist Party official. On September 3, CCP International Department Vice Minister Lu Kang met the group in Qufu, China. The agenda included Beijing’s Five-Year Plan and its global foreign-policy initiatives. The Party’s readout says Lu wanted the visitors to develop: “a true, multidimensional and comprehensive understanding of China” It then attributes this assessment to the American students: “China’s development achievements have attracted worldwide attention.” And says they expressed willingness to: “contribute their youthful energy” …to promoting U.S.–China relations. Those are claims published by the Chinese Communist Party about its own outreach to people from American universities. The event’s named organizers were the China NGO Network for International Exchanges and the Chinese Association for International Understanding. The CCP identifies prominent American universities and explicitly includes faculty among the participants—but names none of those professors. Harvard, Columbia and the University of Chicago should release their participants’ roles and explain how this visit was arranged.
