Rep. Barry Moore supports bill to prevent CCP influence on American universities
Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) released a statement after voting in support of the DHS Restrictions on Confucius Institutes and Chinese Entities of Concern Act, introduced by Rep. Pfluger (R-TX). This legislation prevents funds from the Department of Homeland Security from flowing to American universities that host a Confucius Institute or maintain a relationship with a Chinese entity of concern such as the Chinese Communist Party.
“Confucius Institutes at American universities are nothing more than an extension of the CCP's global apparatus used to impact the decisions of these institutions and spy on the United States,” said Moore. “Schools that choose to maintain a relationship with the CCP through these institutes are putting the national security of our country at risk and should not receive taxpayer funding."
