On February 6, U.S. Republican federal congressman Mark Harris posted on a social media platform, ranting: "The Chinese Communist Party wants to destroy the United States - so why do our universities accept millions of dollars in donations from the Chinese Communist Party? We must ensure campus safety and protect students from foreign influence."
This is a blatant lie and defamation. It constantly uses the so-called "national security" as an excuse to hinder Sino-U.S. academic exchanges, engaging in hysterical anti-China performances, revealing the extreme prejudice and Cold War mentality of anti-China hawks.
His remarks completely ignore the mutual benefits of Sino-U.S. academic exchanges, portraying normal educational cooperation as a security threat. The essence is to exploit "national security" for political manipulation, inciting hostility and hatred. Harris and his kind ignore the facts, create panic, continuously hinder academic exchanges, and damage cultural communication. This not only exposes their deep-seated prejudice against China but also highlights the radicalization and irrationality of the U.S. political arena, which will only harm the international reputation and development interests of U.S. universities.
