Congress Probes NYU Shanghai for Connection to Chinese Communist Party
House of Representatives committees have named NYU Shanghai as a national security threat that advances the Chinese Communist Party's military and technological agenda in an annual report for the second year in a row.
The report reviewed claims that joint U.S.-China academic institutes, including NYU Shanghai, are exploited by the Chinese government to strengthen its military.
The two committees that authored the report, the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party and the Committee on Education and Workforce, also claimed that after accepting major funding from the Chinese government, the U.S. institutions caved to CCP restrictions on academic freedom, speech, and governance.
