Article from the Free Beacon by Natalie Johnson.
The CIA has issued a classified report detailing China’s far-reaching foreign influence operations campaign in the United States, which imparts financial incentives as leverage to permeate American institutions.
In an unclassified page of the report obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, the CIA cautions against efforts by the Chinese Communist Party to stipulate funding to universities and policy institutes in exchange for academic censorship.
“The CCP provides ‘strings-attached’ funding to academic institutions and think tanks to deter research that casts it in a negative light,” the report says. “It has used this tactic to reward pro-China viewpoints and coerce Western academic publications and conferences to self-censor. The CCP often denies visas to academics who criticize the regime, encouraging many China scholars to preemptively self-censor so they can maintain access to the country on which their research depends.”
The CIA warning joins a growing call by U.S. lawmakers and intelligence officials to investigate China’s involvement on American college campuses. The agency declined to comment on the report.

The Karl Marx and his Communist Manifesto (~1850s) along with his Ruskie minions started back in the 1880s with the USA Ivy League schools and later with the help of the Federal Education Dept. and the teachers unions, the commies up their ante to communize the US of A. The CommonCore Standards were/are a part of this effort. After the USSR, Mao started his China and then Korea with Vietnam and others close behind (most of Asia, Africa, C & S America, ….). During the 1930s through the 1950s, some 300+ communist were identified in our federal bureaucracy. Our FBI and Senator Joe McCarthy approached FDR, Truman and even Ike about the list. Evidently old Joe Stalin had them in his pocket. JFK, a staunch anti communist, eventually purged them and they had him murdered. And yet, today, some of those old washed up old commies are still here.
