On the afternoon of May 30th (Friday) Eastern Time, the Washington think tank “Committee on the Present Danger: China (CPDC)” will hold an online seminar titled “The Chinese Communist Party’s University Movement: Enemies Within the American Academic Community.” New Tang Dynasty and Epoch Times will be livestreaming the event with real-time translation subtitles.
The webinar aims to shed light on the influence and infiltration of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) within academic institutions in the United States. It will explore how the CCP utilizes the guise of cultural exchanges and academic partnerships to advance its agenda and suppress dissenting voices.
This virtual event comes at a time of heightened scrutiny of China’s influence operations in various sectors, including academia, technology, and media. The CPDC, a bipartisan organization focused on countering the CCP’s global ambitions, seeks to raise awareness about the CCP’s tactics and promote strategies to safeguard American interests.
The discussion will feature prominent experts and scholars who will analyze the CCP’s influence on American universities, including its funding of research projects, establishment of Confucius Institutes, and recruitment of students and scholars as agents of influence.
The webinar is expected to provide valuable insights into the complex web of relationships between the CCP, American academia, and the broader geopolitical landscape. By examining case studies and sharing firsthand accounts, the speakers aim to equip attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to identify and combat CCP influence in their own communities.
Participants are encouraged to engage with the speakers through a Q&A session following the presentations. The interactive nature of the webinar aims to foster dialogue, encourage critical thinking, and empower individuals to take proactive measures in safeguarding academic freedom and national security.
