Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s administration is partnered with the Chinese Communist Party-funded Confucius Institutes, allowing party propaganda to infiltrate district’s public schools and federal buildings, The National Pulse can reveal.

Hanban, the parent organization of Chinese Communist Party-funded Confucius Institutes, has rebranded itself as the Ministry of Education Centre for Language Education and Cooperation following an onslaught of bad press for spearheading China’s international propaganda campaign.

The Confucius Institute is living up to its reputation as the international propaganda arm of the Chinese Communist Party with its response to the novel coronavirus, extolling the CCP’s response as “timely, transparent, open and effective.” Reality is far different from this CCP-sanctioned narrative: at first, the regime ignored the existence of the virus, repeatedly threatening doctors who raised concerns that “if they kept being stubborn, with such impertinence, and continue this illegal activity, they would be brought to justice.” Even a University of Southampton study concluded a 95 percent reduction in global coronavirus cases would have resulted if the
China’s immediate goal is to “change the impression in the United States and around the world that China is an economic and security threat,” according to a 2019 Senate Report. The Chinese government – a dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) – wants to downplay atrocities like the massacre at Tiananmen Square in 1989 and the ongoing battle for Tibetan independence.
