Harvard’s CCP Ties: US Lawmakers Raise Alarm
Three US Representatives, John Moolenaar (R-MI), Tim Walberg (R-MI), and Elise Stefanik (R-NY), have accused Harvard University of collaborating with entities directly linked to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) Central Organisation Department. This revelation comes via a letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
The Central Organisation Department, the lawmakers allege, is instrumental in propagating “Xi Jinping Thought” among Chinese officials. Its role in selecting key leadership figures within China’s authoritarian structure is also well documented.
This alleged collaboration raises serious concerns about potential influence peddling and the compromise of academic integrity at a prestigious institution like Harvard.
The accusations highlight the growing anxieties within the US regarding CCP influence on American universities and institutions. The implications for academic freedom and national security warrant a thorough investigation and transparent response from Harvard. This case underscores the need for greater scrutiny of foreign funding and partnerships in higher education.
