                    COUNTERING CONFUCIUS INSTITUTES

  (Ms. FOXX of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, there has been a lot of 
news coverage lately on coordinated efforts by the Chinese Communist 
Party to infiltrate America's institutions.
  I am particularly troubled by reports revealing efforts by the CCP to 
exploit academic integrity on U.S. college campuses.
  We know the CCP is using Confucius Institutes to further its agenda. 
Located on college campuses across the U.S., Confucius Institutes use 
their platform to spew Chinese Government propaganda.
  While Democrats turn a blind eye to China's threat, I am proud my 
Republican colleagues and I joined forces on the China Task Force and 
made bipartisan recommendations to Congress on how best to counter 
threats from the CCP.
  There is no place for Chinese censorship in America, especially not 
on college campuses where American ingenuity should take flight. 
Congress must deliver a strong message: CCP propaganda will be met with 
consequences.
