Harvard & China Ties Exposed in New House Report, Allegations Surround University Research
The report cites more than 140 co-authored papers and $630 million in funding from China-linked sources, and urges Congress to require foreign funding disclosures.
- Two House committees released a report Thursday alleging Harvard University prioritized financial ties with China over U.S. national security. Titled 'Compromised Independence: CCP Influence at Harvard University,' the report claims the school failed to adequately protect research collaborations with Beijing-linked institutions.
- Investigators identified over 140 research papers co-authored by Harvard-affiliated researchers and Chinese institutions tied to the People's Liberation Army. Harvard disclosed receiving more than $630 million from China, a portion of its $4.5 billion in total foreign-source funding.
- The report highlights collaborations with the 'Seven Sons Universities,' which the Pentagon identified as central to China's defense research. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced in February the Pentagon would part ways with Harvard, citing alleged Chinese Communist Party connections.
- Harvard disagrees with the report's allegations, stating it maintains compliance with federal security standards. The Department of Justice recently launched an investigation into whether Harvard's China-based financial aid programs discriminate against American students.
- The committees concluded by calling for passage of the 'DETTERANT Act' to mandate foreign funding disclosure. Gatestone Institute Senior Fellow Gordon Chang warned that the American political system has failed to prohibit these types of contacts.
