Bill overview
This bill, the DHS Restrictions on Confucius Institutes and Chinese Entities of Concern Act, aims to limit the Department of Homeland Security’s funding to colleges and universities that have connections to Confucius Institutes or designated ‘Chinese entities of concern.’ Specifically, it prohibits these institutions from receiving DHS Science and Technology or Research and Development funds unless they sever ties with the Chinese organizations. The bill defines ‘Chinese entity of concern’ based on involvement in military technology, defense industries, or affiliation with Chinese government defense agencies. This legislation is intended to address national security concerns related to Chinese influence in U.S. educational institutions.
