US EditionRepublicans Urge US Universities to Cut Ties with Chinese-Backed Scholarship Program
UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Lawmakers investigate whether hundreds of Chinese graduate students at major U.S. universities aid China’s military-civil fusion through federally funded research, raising national security concerns.
- House Republicans led by Rep. John Moolenaar are pressing seven U.S. universities to end their collaboration with the China Scholarship Council program by July 2025.
- This push follows concerns that CSC, while presenting as a joint scholarship program, is a CCP-managed effort facilitating technology transfer that threatens U.S. national security.
- Several schools, including Dartmouth and Notre Dame, have begun terminating their participation, while letters demanding detailed institutional records were sent to all seven universities.
- The 2023-24 academic year saw over 270,000 Chinese students in the U.S., with CSC sponsoring hundreds annually, and a 2024 plan to sponsor up to 240 students at these institutions.
- The call for ending partnerships implies tighter scrutiny of Chinese students in key fields, reflecting ongoing U.S. efforts since a 2020 Trump proclamation to curb technology diversion.
