Harvard Has Trained So Many Chinese Communist Officials, They Call It Their Party School – WSJ

U.S. schools and one prestigious institution in particular have long offered up-and-coming Chinese officials a place to study governance, a practice that the Trump administration could end with a new effort to keep out what it says are Chinese students with Communist Party ties.

For decades, the party has sent thousands of mid-career and senior bureaucrats to pursue executive training and postgraduate studies on U.S. campuses, with Harvard University a coveted destination described by some in China as the top party school outside the country.

Alumni of such programs include a former vice president and Chinese leader Xi Jinping s top negotiator in trade talks with the first Trump administration.

In an effort announced Wednesday by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, U.S. authorities will tighten criteria for visa applications from China and aggressively revoke visas for Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields.

I got in trouble because I would say anti-Communist things in class. (I taught corporate law which at least used to be an anti-communist sort of subject.) The influence of the CCP is pervasive. You see a lot of here in paradise.
