Ban on Federal Funding for Universities Hosting Confucius Institutes.
This bill aims to completely block the use of federal taxpayer money to support universities, both domestic and international, that host Confucius Institutes. The main consequence is the removal of the government's ability to waive this prohibition, strengthening measures intended to protect the US educational environment from foreign influence and espionage. Citizens can expect their funds will not be directed to institutions deemed tools of foreign propaganda or intelligence.
